Ingredients

• 2 large eggs
• 50g smoked herring, flaked
• 30g mozzarella cheese, torn or grated
• 30ml milk
• 1/4 small onion, finely chopped
• 5ml olive oil
• 1 tbsp fresh dill or chives, chopped
• Black pepper to taste

Instructions

1. In a bowl, whisk the eggs and milk together until smooth. Season generously with black pepper.
2. Heat the olive oil in a small, non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened and translucent.
3. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet over the onions. Let it cook for about 2 minutes, using a spatula to gently pull the cooked edges toward the center.
4. Sprinkle the flaked herring and mozzarella evenly over the top of the eggs.
5. Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet with a lid, and cook for another 4-5 minutes until the frittata is set but still tender in the center.
6. Slide the frittata onto a plate and garnish with fresh dill or chives before serving immediately.

Tips & Substitutions

• Switch up the protein: If smoked herring isn’t available, try canned salmon, mackerel, or even shredded chicken.
• Dairy-free option: Replace mozzarella with a dairy-free cheese or simply omit it for a lighter dish.
• Boost the veggies: Add spinach, bell peppers, or mushrooms for extra nutrients and flavor.
