The cast-iron pan sizzles to life when I add minced garlic, onion, zucchini, and mushrooms to it. Suddenly the kitchen is filled with the intoxicating aroma of garlic and onion. While those vegetables are sauteing, I open the oven and grab the potatoes that have been roasting for the last 15 minutes, and dump them into the pan. “Can I do anything to help?” my boyfriend Luke asks, visibly worried that we won’t make it to the ski resort in time. I put him on egg duty, and he quickly whisks eight eggs that are added to the mixture. Instead of just scrambling the whole concoction, I pull it off the heat and cover the top in a layer of ruby red sliced tomatoes and dollops of goat cheese. It goes back in the oven for 10 minutes, giving me just enough time to throw on my base layers, bibs, and socks so that I’m ready to leave right after we eat. When the timer chimes I sprint back to the oven and pull out a frittata so cute your mom would want to post it on Pinterest. Breakfast is ready. Everyone is served a slice, and we silently devour the baked egg dish, savoring the hints of rosemary and garlic. “I told you we had time for a nice breakfast,” I playfully tease Luke. He responds by grabbing another slice that doesn’t last on his plate for long.
