Zucchini egg frittata with crispy bacon and ricotta cheese.

Isn’t breakfast much more intimate than dinner? It’s not the easiest thing to do, but recently I started inviting people over for the first instead of the last meal of the day (sometimes still in my pajamas). Things did get a little fancy when I started making egg benedict with whipped edamame and kabocha squash, but some of the simplest dishes such as zucchini egg frittata was actually the most popular at the table. I have to admit it is a much better way to start the day (and our design process) – by sitting down at the table and sharing breakfast together before going out into the world.

15 – 30 minutes is really all it takes.
