Breakfast

Goat Cheese Fritatta

Posted by slocooking on

This breakfast recipe can be made into a large dish or put into mini muffin pans for a hand held bite perfect for holiday gatherings. Over the years we had this in regular rotation for our catering customers. Everyone loved it and asked for it again and again.

Unfortunately I can’t remember exactly where this recipe originated. I think it probably came from one of the California Bed & Breakfast Cookbooks. There are quite a few, and we’ve found some yummy recipes in these over the years.

This is a perfect dish for brunch on Easter Sunday.
