Salmon and Broccoli Frittata

I am always not sure what the difference is between frittata, omelette or just crustless quiche: all of these have something to do with eggs, some sort of cream, cheese and various fillings.

In this recipe fillings are salmon, broccoli, asparagus and some greens. And today I will call it a frittata 🙂 And hey, it is full of veggies…

Great recipe for breakfast, lunch or whatever meal time you prefer.

  • A delicious dish. Thank you.I substituted someof the items for what I had available. Greek yogurt instead of cream. Some stilton and paprika cheese and a half courgette instead of asparagus. It was still delicious.
