Frittata and Girlfriends

April 29, 2014 by Monica in Breakfast, Chica Brunch, Entertaining, Events, Quick Meal

If you had been reading Sweetbites for a while, you know that I host a monthly brunch event with my girlfriends and I call it “Chica Brunch”. We get together one Sunday of the month, everyone brings a dish and then we sit around and play catch up with everything that is happening in our lives.

6 to 10 (depending who makes it that month) interesting, accomplished and attractive women, who are flying solo for the afternoon - We’ve left homes, children, husbands/significant others behind to share an lazy afternoon to celebrate another aspect of ourselves that I now value more deeply: our friendship.

A couple of weeks ago I was approached by a representative from the Florida Tomato Committee in order to participate in their blogger outreach program. The Committee funds research and development projects and marketing promotions that focus on maximizing Florida tomato movement, including consumer and marketing research and customized marketing programs.

In celebration of Fresh Florida tomato Month in April, they were looking for blogger to develop an original recipe celebrating the Florida tomato.

Or more like a cheating Bagelwich. I could call it an egg sandwich, but the inspiration comes from a bagel.

When I lived in Miami, there was this little café close to work, which delivered pretty much 70% of the breakfast for the office staff.

The office is located off an island right passed the downtown area, and once you drove over the bridge, the lazy would sit in and there was no way anyone would ever contemplate leaving or you would be stuck in traffic never to be able to return.

In fact any restaurant that had delivery was very popular on our kitchen “take out menu” board. The motto was “let them come to us, and not us to them”.

But, back to the café…
