Goat Cheese Frittata
So what's goat cheese?
Very simply, goat cheese is any cheese made from the milk of goats.
Goat milk has slightly less lactose than cow's milk, so it can be easier to digest for those who are lactose issues. But that's not the real benefit of goat cheese. Goat's milk is homogenized naturally, which makes it easier for humans to digest.
Goat cheese is one of the world's oldest cheese, and whether you get it hard or soft, just know that it's been around for almost eleven thousand years!
Goat Cheese and Egg Recipes
Does goat cheese have some great health benefits? Well, according to Web MD:
"The vitamins, minerals, and heart-healthy fats in goat cheese improve health in a number of ways. Copper, for example, helps produce red blood cells, which carry oxygen from the lungs to the other tissues of the body. Copper also aids in the absorption of iron and other nutrients.
Goat cheese also contains riboflavin, also known as vitamin B2. Riboflavin plays an important role in many bodily processes, especially the production and functioning of new cells."
Now I love goat cheese and using it with eggs as in this recipe makes this creamy mixture with a slightly tangy bite in each bite!
