Goat Cheese Frittata and Mimosa Brunch

Mother’s Day is a heartfelt occasion to express your appreciation and love for all the incredible moms out there. Elevate this year’s celebration with a gourmet brunch at home, starring a sophisticated frittata paired perfectly with bubbly mimosas. Make this day even more special by ensuring every detail is perfect, right down to keeping your Prosecco fresh with our CapaBubbles. Here’s how to impress Mom with your culinary skills and thoughtfulness.

Herb & Goat Cheese Frittata

A frittata, with its rich flavors and elegant presentation, is ideal for a festive brunch. This recipe uses a blend of egg whites and yolks, creating a lighter texture that perfectly complements the creamy goat cheese and fresh herbs.

Ingredients:

• 12 egg whites
• 9 egg yolks
• 1 large shallot, minced
• 12 cherry tomatoes, halved lengthwise
• 1 cup soft goat cheese
• ½ cup chives, chopped
• 1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves
• Sea salt
• Pepper (preferably Espellete for a mild, smoky flavor)

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the egg whites and yolks until well combined.
3. Heat a 12-inch non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add a knob of butter and sauté the shallots until they are softened but not browned, about 3 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside.
4. Reduce the heat to medium-low and pour the eggs into the skillet. Season with sea salt and cook until the bottom of the eggs are set, about 3 minutes.
5. Evenly sprinkle the cooked shallots over the eggs, followed by half the chives, all the thyme, and chunks of goat cheese. Top with the remaining chives and a sprinkle of Espellete pepper.
6. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake until the center of the frittata is set, about 15-20 minutes. Check for doneness by gently shaking the pan; the center should be firm and not liquidy. Use an oven mitt to avoid burns.
7. Once done, remove from the oven, jiggle the pan to loosen the frittata from the edges, then slide it out onto a serving dish.

Mimosas - A Sparkling Toast to Mom

Complement your exquisite frittata with a classic mimosa, using fresh orange juice and sparkling wine. Here’s a simple yet elegant way to prepare it:

Mimosa Recipe:

• Prosecco or any sparkling wine
