Breakfast Time: Frittatas

Never work before breakfast; if you have to work before breakfast, eat your breakfast first.
- Josh Billings

Just like how a day is begun with breakfast, we started our year by making fritatas. Frittatas are similar to omelettes, where the eggs are beaten and the mixture is fried. However, the dish's optional ingredients are added directly into the egg mixture resulting a single disk of happiness. What makes the frittata so suitable for breakfast is the ability to bring a variety of nutrients and flavours into a single meal. Options can include meat, vegetables, cheese and seasonings of herbs. Out of the myriad of choices, we picked a simple ham and asparagus frittata recipe for our first lab of the year.

Even though our class was in the afternoon, we still looked forward to this breakfast.
