Saturday mornings are sacred time in our family, one that we collectively look forward to all week (perhaps some more than others). It’s often the only day mom and dad get to sleep in, the first day of downtime after a hectic week, the start of a whole weekend filled with possibilities…and it’s when dad usually cooks up one of his amazing breakfasts.
The best part about our Saturday morning ceremony is it doesn’t really matter what we cook — sometimes it’s crepes with brown sugar and orange juice, other times it’s the traditional bacon and eggs, and other times it’s a surprise creation that we make up as we go. That’s what lead to the creation of one of our new favorites: Potato and Goat Cheese Frittata!
Potato and Goat Cheese Frittata
What makes frittatas so wonderful is that they are so flexible. Don’t have goat cheese? Substitute whatever you have in the fridge. Don’t like potatoes? Try it with red peppers instead. Once you have mastered the technique, you take any combination of ingredients and throw together a frittata!
