-
1/2 cup full-fat milk or 1/2 cup half-and-half cream

- Heat butter or oil in a 12-inch oven-proof skillet over medium heat until hot.
- Pour egg mixture into skillet and scatter cream cheese cubes over top.
- Cook, lifting up cooked eggs around edges using a spatula to let the raw egg flow underneath until the frittata is set on bottom, and egg is almost set but still moist on top (about 3 minutes).
- Remove from heat.
- Sprinkle salmon all over frittata, then press lightly, the shake skillet to allow salmon to settle into the top.
- Broil about 6 inches from heat for 1 - 1-1/2 minutes, or until set, slightly puffed and golden in spots.
