A traditional recipe from the South. If you're from outside Dixie you'll notice this recipe doesn't include sugar (Sweet Cornbread). This recipe has been handed down in my family for generations. I had to experiment with the amounts because no one had ever measured!

Goat Cheese Frittata
Comments (1)
The great thing about frittatas is that you can use whatever you have handy in the kitchen to create a scrumptious dish suitable to breakfast, lunch or dinner! This version features sauteed onions and peppers, bacon, Parmesan and goat cheese. This is easily doubled by using a 12" pan instead of a 6" and doubling ingredients. Note: if you want to make these "healthier" you can use egg whites instead of whole eggs.
