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.
- 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.
