Caramelized Onion and Goat Cheese Fritata

Who says you can't have eggs for dinner? In fact we find ourselves facing breakfast for dinner on a regular basis.  Waffles, french toast and bacon are always appropriate in this household, any time of the day. A fritata is a great way to satisfy those breakfast craving and still get your veggies in and great protein too. It's also a great way to rid your fridge of any left over veggies, which helps prevent waste, and gets the kids to eat them too. Have one zucchini left? throw it in! Some chard and half an onion.? throw it in! Pretty much anything will work. For this version, we used a base of caramelized onions and cremimi mushrooms (which are one of the best mushrooms). I also used some fresh chevre broken up into small pieces and floated throughout the egg mixture. This is making my mouth water for more just typing it. Once again this dish is so easy to make, and if you have a little vegetable garden of your own everything should be right there, fresh as can be. This dish is perfect for a nice hearty brunch (remember its Mother's Day on Sunday)! Paired with farm fresh strawberries and champagne this could be the best breakfast in bed for your favorite mother!
