Ingredients

  • 1 4 ounce plain bagel, cut into pieces (2 1/3 cups)

  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter

  • 1 leek, thinly sliced (1/3 cup)

  • 5 ounce asparagus, trimmed and cut into pieces (1 1/2 cups)

  • 5 eggs

  • 1 cup whole milk

  • 3 ounce feta cheese, crumbled

  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill weed

  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

  • 8 ounce thinly sliced smoked salmon (lox-style), chopped

  • Creme fraiche, feta cheese, capers, and/or fresh dill weed

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 450°F. Spread bagel pieces on a baking sheet. Bake about 7 minutes or until toasted. Remove and set aside.

  2. Meanwhile, in a 10-inch oven-going skillet melt butter over medium-high heat. Add leek. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 3 minutes. Add asparagus. Cook 5 minutes more.

  3. In a medium bowl whisk together eggs, milk, 3 ounces feta, 1 tablespoon dill, and pepper. Add the lox and dried bagel pieces; stir to combine. Pour mixture over leek and asparagus in skillet, stirring gently to combine. Cover with foil. Transfer to oven.* Bake, covered, 10 minutes. Uncover. Bake 12 to 14 minutes more or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool 5 minutes. Serve with a dollop of creme fraiche, additional feta cheese, and a sprinkle of capers and dill weed.

*Tip

To make your skillet oven and broiler proof, wrap the handle in foil. This will reduce heating and convection.
