Dish of the Day: Driscoll's Raspberry Ham Frittata

Here at Behind the Burner, berries are the first thing to go when someone puts them in the office fridge. Even tagging the containers with the owner's John Hancock does very little to discourage the berry fiends. When consuming, we usually add them to yogurt, granola, or even sneak them into the occasional peanut butter sandwich, but never in our lives did we think of putting them in a savory dish.

Driscoll's Berries changed all that with their recipe for an intriguing Raspberry Ham Frittata. Filled with ingredients you might normally find in an everyday egg-based dish, such as hash browns and cheddar cheese, this unassuming breakfast noshable boasts bright spots of pinkish-red where where raspberries add that little something extra. On first bight, the sharp, tart flavor of the berries adds just the right touch to the mellow eggs and salty ham. I know when I sampled it I was in hog heaven!

Tip: If cheddar isn't your thing, try replacing the the cheddar with a Baby Swiss or Provolone. It'll have that extra bite to mirror the tartness of the raspberries.

The moral of this story: things are not always what they seem! Experiment with your dishes and they may come out just as spectacular as Driscoll's Frittata.
