Lemon-Parsley Goat Cheese Frittata

If you have adult or college-aged children as I do, then you’ll be intimately familiar with the frustration of getting them to sit down long enough to have a healthy meal when they’re fixated on their deadlines. Fortunately, this Lemon-Parsley Goat Cheese Frittata recipe sent to me by my cousin presents a convenient and tasty solution.

A frittata is typically a breakfast egg dish, similar to the likes of the beloved omelet. But instead of neatly tucking the fillings away, in a frittata you mix the fillings in with the eggs in the pan and then finish cooking it in the oven. If your frittata is large enough, you can even cut it up into slices like a pie or cake.

When I make this Lemon-Parsley Goat Cheese Frittata in the morning, I like to help myself then have a few slices set aside and ready to heat whenever my girls decide they want a filling and healthy snack. They’re both in love with this tasty dish and I must confess that I am too! The combination of goat cheese and eggs makes for a soft, creamy, delightfully cheesy base, and the lemon zest provides an unexpectedly bright pop of flavor when you bite in. The chopped parsley also works wonderfully with the egg and cheese, adding a depth of grassy, peppery flavor. This frittata also has a wealth of nutritional value — no butter, no meat, no extra fats.

This recipe makes more than enough for your breakfast, lunch, and dinner when you’re dining alone, but it’s also a wonderful dish to share with friends or family. Happy cooking!
