Notes

Smart Shopping Tips

• Green bell peppers are typically less expensive than red, orange or yellow, but they all work well in this recipe.
• Many vegetables are great to spread across multiple recipes. Plan your meals for a few days and use leftover veggies throughout the week.

Cooking & Serving Tips:

• You can add salt, pepper or garlic powder to your egg and cheese mixture for extra flavor.
• Any vegetables can be switched out or added depending on what you like.
• If you don’t have olive oil, cooking spray or another vegetable oil will work as well.
• Swap out the part skim mozzarella with fat free or reduced fat cheddar cheese.
