I am off work today, so last night I kept thinking about breakfast. That’s what I do, I lay in bed at night and think about what I’m going to eat in the morning. Any way, I decided I wanted to make a frittata. My husband got me lot’s of kitchen stuff for Christmas a couple years ago, including some cast iron skillets. I love my cast irons and they are great for making frittatas.
You can really do whatever you want with a frittata. I chose to pack mine full of veggies and top it with a little goat cheese. I love trying all different cheeses lately, so I thought goat cheese would go well with this. For the veggies I included spinach, onion, zucchini and tomato. This is a really great way to start your day because you are getting protein from the eggs, vitamin C from the tomato, fiber from the zucchini, iron and many nutrients from the spinach.
