Gluten Free Fig and Goat Cheese Frittata

Fig, Goat Cheese, and Prosciutto Frittata Recipe

Oh, how I love fig season, however fleeting it may be. Beautiful, ripe, luscious figs call out my name, just begging to be eaten out of hand or used in recipes.

Apparently, I am not the only one who treasures figs. The ancient Greeks thought so highly of figs that they created laws forbidding the export of the best quality figs. The Romans considered the fig sacred. In the Middle East, the prophet Mohammed is purported to have said, “If I should wish a fruit brought to Paradise, it would certainly be the fig.”

This simple, gluten free recipe is one of my very favorite ways to use figs – a frittata. Frittatas are perfect for breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner or a snack. They are simple to prepare, good served hot or at room temperature and in some cases, can be pretty darn impressive. This fig, goat cheese, and prosciutto frittata recipe is sophisticated and even elegant.

I like to use a cast iron skillet for my frittatas but any skillet will do. You can even make this in a pretty baking dish if you need to transport it to someplace else.

I prefer the darker figs such as Brown Turkey or Black Mission but you can use the variety you like best or that is easier for you to find. Of course, for the best flavor and healthiest frittatas, start with organic, pastured eggs, I use Nature’s Yoke eggs.

This is one of my favorite frittata and fig recipes! What’s yours?
