happy easter! we had joe's parents here for the weekend and decided to make an easter brunch because they had to get on the road and wanted a light(er) meal. the menu included:
grape salad with feta
sweet pea grits
shrimp, spinach, tomato, and goat cheese frittata
we broke out the china, crystal, silver, and even the linen napkins for the occasion! i must say i've never made a frittata before and it was easy and delicious. it's in the background of this picture but it was one of the highlights of the meal. joe's mom found the recipe in a magazine and it was so easy
shrimp, spinach, tomato, and goat cheese frittata
4 eggs
4 egg whites
1/3 cup chopped tomatoes
dash of chili powder
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
1/2 teaspoon salt
freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons canola oil
12 shrimp
1 small shallot, chopped
1 cup packed fresh spinach chopped
1/2 cup crumbled goat cheese
you whisk the eggs, egg whites, tomatoes, chili powder, basil, salt and pepper
saute shrimp with the canola oil, salt, pepper (1 min) add shallot (2 min) add spinach
pour egg mixture over shrimp, shallot, and spinach
sprinkle goat cheese on top
let frittata set in the skillet then bake at 400F for 13-15 minutes
it was like a quiche, only better if that's possible :) the sweet pea grits and grape and feta salad were from the edible school yard here in new orleans, if you want the recipes let me know!
