A very green frittata

ON THE MENU: breakfast frittata with asparagus, shelled sugar snap peas, chevre goat cheese, wild rocket arugula, chives, parsley, basil, and onion

LOGISTICS: Ashley and Ali had an amazing frittata at Tasty & Sons, while Ashley attempting to talk to the owner and get a summer job. Chef owner John Gorham of Toro Bravo recently opened up Tasty & Sons, which is a brunch restaurant on N. Williams Ave.

Since Maddie is still in NJ, Ashley and Ali attempted to replicate the frittata with one less helping hand. The breakfast was relatively simple to make; the arugula, chives, and parsley were from Ali's garden, the basil from Ashley's, and the rest of the ingredients were gathered from our local grocery store, New Seasons.

First we chopped up all the veggies and herbs: 4 asparagus spears, 1/4 of a yellow onion, as much arugula and herbs as you want (we used a handful of arugula, the total chopped herbs were about a 1/4 cup). We used 4 eggs plus 2 egg whites. Multiply the recipe depending on how many people you want to serve - ours served 2 VERY hungry people, but easily could have worked for 3 or 4.

We sauteed the onions first, then mixed in the asparagus and peas to sauté as well. Next we stirred up the eggs and poured them into the skillet with the sauteed veggies. After scrambling the eggs slightly (but still with them pretty runny), we threw in the fresh arugula and herbs. Right before we put it into the oven, set to "broil" at 375 degrees, we added some goat cheese crumbles. The frittata was cooked for 4 minutes in the oven, browning slightly on top.

After eating all the frittata, we came to a few conclusions:

- We liked having a high veggie to egg ratio. We were worried it wouldn't hold together but it did perfectly!

- We could have added more herbs and a bit more goat cheese. The bites with parsley and chevre we so good!

- The pie-slice presentation was pretty :)

TABLE TALK:

- Road-trip to San Francisco. We finally think we have it all worked out!!!! Yayy!

- Zumba with Elle and Lindsey. They're both first-timers hehe

- Our hike up Dog Mountain yesterday, resulting in sore legs and one sick puppy. Luckily there were no rattlesnake sitings, or poison oak infections (that we know of yet...)!

- How much we miss Maddie and that we hope her trip is going well!
