Smoked Salmon & Cottage Cheese High-Protein Frittata (30g Protein)

Published: 8/10/2026

A technically efficient breakfast option. Blending the cottage cheese into the eggs creates a souffle-like texture while significantly increasing the protein-to-calorie ratio.

Ingredients (4 servings)

• 6 large eggs
• 1 cup (240 g) cottage cheese, blended smooth
• 4 oz (115 g) smoked salmon, chopped
• 1 cup (30 g) fresh spinach
• 1/4 cup (40 g) red onion, diced

Instructions

1. Whisk the eggs and blended cottage cheese together.
2. Sauté the onion and spinach in an oven-safe skillet until the spinach is wilted.
3. Pour in the egg mixture and drop in the smoked salmon pieces.
4. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 15–20 minutes until the center is set and no longer jiggles.

Pro Tips

• Easy Release: Use a non-stick, oven-safe skillet to ensure the frittata slides out easily for clean slicing.
