Mozzarella, Tomato & Vegetable Frittata

Easy Healthy Summer Recipes

Whether you are looking for something to make for lunch or dinner; this vegetable frittata will become one of your favorite dishes.

Ingredients

• 1 – 2 Tablespoons of Extra Light Olive Oil
• Large eggs (the number of eggs you need depends on how many people you make the frittata for). I recommend 5 – 6
• 3 – 4 Tablespoons of red tomatoes or sun-dried tomatoes (Personally, I like to use both types of tomatoes for this recipe)
• Fresh baby-sized mozzarella balls
• Fresh vegetables – your choice – I recommend either eggplant, summer squash, or zucchini
• Fresh basil
• Ground black pepper
• A pinch of sea salt

_______________________________

To make, heat olive oil and vegetables in a frying pan until soft. I recommend cooking on low heat.

While your vegetables are cooking, whisk eggs and a pinch of sea salt and pepper in a mixing bowl. Next, pour the egg mixture into the frying pan. Cook for approximately 1 -2 minutes.

Finally, add the tomatoes and mozzarella balls for another 2 minutes.

Once your mixture is slightly brown; transfer this to a flat pan.

Add fresh basil, and cut into 4 – 6 slices.

Also, if you are serving this for dinner or have company over; you can easily add a fresh arugula salad.

Bon appetite!

• 4 Ingredient Grilled Chicken
• 4 Ingredient Grilled Chicken
• When you are looking for something healthy, yet flavorful you will love my 4–ingredient grilled chicken recipe.
• Ingredients
• Chicken (use as much as you need depending on how many you are serving)
• 1/2 cup to a cup of light plain or Greek yogurt
• 1 – 2 tablespoons of fresh oregano
• Ground black pepper (use as much as you like)

_______________________________

To make this recipe, I recommend first grilling your chicken.

While your chicken is grilling; combine yogurt, and fresh oregano in a bowl. If your mixture is too thick; you may want to add a little water to thin out your mixture.

Next, pour a little of the marinade over the chicken and place it in a serving dish. Also, you may want to have a little extra marinade on the side in case someone prefers their chicken plain.
