Here, the old trick of moistening scrambled eggs with cream cheese is elevated with Boursin, which also adds flavor. This makes a good brunch dish or, when served with a salad, a satisfying light supper.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    Makes 4 servings

Ingredients

8 large eggs
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup olive oil
2 cups frozen shredded hash brown potatoes (from a 16-oz bag)
1 bunch scallions, chopped (2 cups)
1 (5-oz) package Boursin garlic-herb cheese, chilled
Accompaniment: sliced smoked salmon or prosciutto

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 375°F.

    Step 2

    Whisk together eggs, salt, and pepper until just combined.

    Step 3

    Heat oil in an ovenproof 9- to 10-inch heavy nonstick skillet over high heat until very hot but not smoking. Add potatoes and scallions to oil, stirring once, then cover and cook until beginning to brown, about 4 minutes. Stir potato mixture once, then cover and cook 3 minutes more.

    Step 4

    Pour beaten eggs evenly over potato mixture and crumble cheese over eggs. Transfer skillet to oven and bake frittata, uncovered, until set and just cooked through, about 15 minutes. Invert a plate over skillet and, holding them together with oven mitts, invert frittata onto plate and serve immediately.
