Ingredients:

6 large eggs
½ cup (120 ml) heavy cream
7 oz (200 g) fresh salmon fillets, cooked and flaked
¼ cup (25 g) parmesan cheese, grated
½ yellow bell pepper, diced (about ½ cup / 75 g)
½ cup (75 g) cherry tomatoes, halved
1 Tbsp (15 ml) olive oil
Salt and pepper, to taste
Optional: fresh herbs to garnish

Instructions:

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8-inch (20 cm) baking dish.

Heat the olive oil in a pan over medium heat and sauté the pepper for 2–3 minutes until slightly softened. Remove from the heat and let cool slightly.

In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, salt, and pepper.

Mix the flaked salmon, pepper, cherry tomatoes, and parmesan into the egg mixture. Pour into the prepared dish.
