Gluten Free Frittata alla Carbonara Recipe
You may have noticed that I sometimes get obsessed with certain recipes and then proceed to make several variations of the same theme. I like what I like and I like having options of how I can get what I want. Don’t you?
Spaghetti alla Carbonara is one of my all-time favorites. It is so simple, so quick, so classic, and is whipped up with ingredients I always seem to have on hand. So I decided to combine this favorite with another favorite of mine – the 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 eating out of hand or used in recipes.
Apparently I am not the only one who treasures figs. The ancient Greek’s thought so highly of figs that they created laws forbidding the export of the best quality figs. The Roman’s considered the fig sacred. In the Middle East, the prophet Mohammed id 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.
