Mushroom Goat Cheese Frittata

Do you have a favorite meal of the day? Are you all in on breakfast, lunch or dinner? While I’ll admit I’m a fan of three squares, I am partial to a relaxing, late morning breakfast or brunch on the weekend. If I’m planning for a group, I make sure there’s a mix of sweet and savory. Eggs of some sort are a must, along with a salad (fruit or green), muffins, pastries or breads, a pot of fresh coffee and, if we’re feeling a little frisky, a specialty cocktail.

If it’s just a quiet, lazy breakfast with my family on the weekend, my boys almost always request eggs. My youngest son makes a mean soft, cheesy scramble and I have to say, they taste even better when this proud mama watches how attentive he is to his task. He’s all business at the stove, careful with the heat and slowly stirring until they’re just cooked through, super soft and silky.

When it’s my turn I’ll go simple like a couple of eggs over-easy or whip up an egg dish that can be baked and sliced. If I have some piecrust wrapped and stored in my freezer than perhaps a quiche is in order.  No pie crust? No problem. How bout a crustless quiche or a frittata? Now a crustless quiche and frittata are quite similar, the difference being that the quiche is mixed up and popped straight into the oven whereas a frittata is started on the stove and then finished in the oven. A cast iron skillet is my favorite vessel for frittata making. They make the move from stove to oven and have a naturally non-stick surface.

A frittata is a versatile egg dish that can be tweaked and tailored to your tastes. My boys love a bacon cheddar version, while this mushroom goat cheese frittata is a tasty option for a grown up brunch or a light dinner. The earthiness of the mushrooms pair beautifully with tangy goat cheese, and a handful of fresh herbs ties it all together.
