Tomato Basil Fritata

March 29, 2012 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 27 Comments

Hi Everyone!

Today was just one of those days that I’m undecided about everything.  I spent an hour staring into my cupboard and refrigerator debating on what to make for dinner.  I didn’t have any defrosted meat, so I had to come up with a vegetarian dish everyone would love.  Still I couldn’t decide.  My Husband has been eating left over lasagna just about all week, so pasta was out.  Little Jenny doesn’t like beans.  I didn’t have any regular bread, I just didn’t know what to do.  So I sat at my computer thinking, as I ate away a half bag of Bob Mills Granola.  Than I realized I’m not that hungry any more, but I’m still under calories for the day, so I should still eat.  Lucky for me, my Husband called and said he was at the grocery store and asked if we need anything.  I said with a big smile, get something for yourself.  He was happy with that.  So he had what he calls Shitty Canoes, which is grilled hot dogs with canned chili and onions, blah!  And I made myself this!

What is that you’re wondering?  It’s tomato, basil and cheese frittata.  I figured I LOVE the combination of tomatoes and basil, why not try it with eggs?  Honestly I wasn’t sure if I’d like it, but guess what I did!!  It’s so good.  The combination of tomatoes and basil with melted mozzarella cheese surrounded by puffy eggs, its perfect!  So glad I made it, and I think you should too!  Just look at the inside!


It is filled to the rim with tomatoes!  I served it with two small pieces of Seeded Oat bread that I made over the weekend.  I never understood why people eat all the bread but leave the ends.  I think that’s the best part, especially when you have seeded bread!!  I love that bread!  I topped it with Honey Apple Butter that I bought from Trader Joe’s.  Right now as we speak I feel like my stomach is going to explode.  Don’t eat a half a bag of granola before dinner!  I hate to even know what the calories I racked up on snacking on it!

Not the prettiest picture above, but that is what it looked like when I took it out of the oven.  Look at all that basil!  Yum!!!  I can’t wait to grow it in my garden this year.  Just hope the weather warms up enough so I can do some gardening.  My yard is in need of some major help!  The weeds are getting bigger than the plants!!

It’s going to be a short post tonight!  My Husband is cleaning the pool, and I am going to see, if my stomach can handle about 20 minutes of kickboxing.  I’ve kind of slacked on exercising this week, but I have been eating good!  Eggs and fruit for breakfast and salads for lunch.  Dinners have been healthy too!!  So I’m doing good!  My only set back this week was the dam granola!  I better take it to work and share it!!!  I’m best off not having it in the house.  That’s why I haven’t made any.

Have a wonderful day!!!

Toodles!

    Granola is one of my downfalls EVERY.TIME. One day I’ll learn just to avoid it. One day…

    I love these frittatas! It’s like a caprese salad encased in an egg…which sounds kinda like exactly what I want for dinner now!

    My whole family loves eggs and I am always looking for a new egg dish to try. Fresh basil is always so amazing by itself and when it is incorporated into a dish. I can’t wait to make this recipe!

    Looks like a great idea for a quick dinner. I hate those nights when I don’t know what to make, and don’t thaw anything.

    Hi there!

    I wanted to try this recipe today, but (as usual) I didn’t have all the ingredients, hehe. I didn’t have any basil, but I added mushrooms and oregano. My family approved and I think it was tasty and filling.

    Thank you so much for sharing this recipe and making me look good in front of my family.

    Take care

    Great recipe – I’m using fresh basil from my terrace – and it is in the oven right now. My calculations show the calorie count higher than you have but still a healthy, protein rich dish!

    • Jennifer @ Peanut Butter and Peppers says

      June 10, 2012 at 9:04 AM

      How much higher? What are you using for ingredients? I used egg substitute and I weighted my tomatoes. However, calculations aren’t always going to be the same dur to different weights and name brands.

Happy Thursday! It’s been a crazy week over at m Happy Thursday! It’s been a crazy week over at my house this week. I started rearranging things around and left messes throughout my house. I start in one spot and it spread throughout. I need to do some major cleanup before the weekend.
💙
One thing I did was change my table in my dining room. I went more neutral until I start to bring the lemons out. I can’t wait for lemon season. I already have a tablescape in mind.
💙
I got the cute Home Sweet Home sign from my friend Brantley from @thesassyoak. It’s in the perfect spot. When you walk into my house you see the table right away. Isn’t the sign so cute? It matches my home so beautifully.
💙
What are your plans for the weekend?

Happy Wednesday!! Half way through the week. Boy I Happy Wednesday!! Half way through the week. Boy I can’t wait for the weekend. I’m looking so forward to finish working in the garden. Well, technically it will never be finished, which I don’t mind. I want to plant a tomato this weekend. Just not sure what kind?
🌿
I refreshed my living room just a tad bit. I took down most of the bunnies, and that is all. I had a lot of them. It made me realize that I forgot my coffee bar. I still have bunnies, chicks and eggs on it. They’ll have to come down this week.
🌿
I have a surprise! Swipe my photo and you’ll see Sampson! He hasn’t made an appearance here in awhile. He said he misses you all!
🌿
Are you planting any vegetables this season?

My Mom got these by saving the stamps you would get from the grocery store with purchase. Each piece of China had a stamp value. So once you collected enough stamps you could pick up another piece of the collection. Needless to say, my Mom collected a lot of stamps and I have the whole set to serve 12 people.☕️

Happy Thursday! I changed up my dining room a lit Happy Thursday! I changed up my dining room  a little bit. I took out my Easter decor and gave it a more neutral look and did some switching around. Plus I added a Samantha Sue, who is laying down in the photo. lol
🍓
One of my favorite pieces that I added was my new @krumpetshomedecor sign. I love the style of the sign with the shiplap white wash look and of course the cute strawberry and daisies that add a pretty pop of color.
🍓
The sign is also reversible. It also says Life is Sweet on the other side without the strawberries and daises. The sign is the Krumpets Home Decor deal of the week.

Hello and happy Wednesday! Thank you for all your Hello and happy Wednesday!  Thank you for all your kind words about the dentist. All he had to do is cement my crown back on. He said your crown has sticky with clear stuff on it. He said I don’t think it’s the old cement?  I told him I ate a white Trader Joe’s jelly bean and I thought I got it all off. He was laughing.
🌿
It’s that time of year for house plant care. While your plants are waking from dormancy, it’s time to feed them, repot them if needed and give a trim if applicable.
🌿
I also water my plants about every 7-10 days, depending on the plant. My coffee plant, fern, violet and my mixed plant container needs watering more. The key to know when to water is check the soil. I use a water meter probe and  you just stick it in the dirt. If it’s dry, I water. If it’s moist or wet, I’ll check again in a few days. You can get a water meter at Lowe’s, your local nursery or Amazon. It’s my number 1 garden tool. We use it on outside plants too.
🌿
I’m also sharing with you my cute little tea towel that I got from @e.h.designco. Her shop is closed right now because she’s moving, but will be open back in June.
🌿
Okay, go check your plants!
🌿
What’s your favorite house plant?

Happy Tuesday! Well today’s the day! I head to Happy Tuesday!  Well today’s the day! I head to the dentist. Wish me luck. I hope they will be able to glue my crown back on. I hate going to the dentist! Ugh!
🌸
Today I am sharing with you my new plates and bowls that I got from @sonemone_official. I just love them. The shade of blue is so pretty and I love the vibrant colors on them.
🌸
The bowls are huge and would make a wonderful soup bowl or salad bowl. The plates would be beautiful served with a charcuterie board. They are microwave and dishwasher safe. They would be so pretty on a summer tablescape.
🌸
Are you ready for summer decorating?

Happy Good Friday! So happy the weekend is here. Happy Good Friday!  So happy the weekend is here. It’s been a glorious week with warm temperatures and sunshine. Next week it’s supposed to cool off dramatically, so I am going to enjoy it while it’s here.
💕
I wanted to get one last Easter tiered tray in before Sunday. Everything you see here is from small shops. I tagged all of them in the photo.
💕
This weekend I’ll be taking a break from IG to work in the yard and to do some decorating so I have some new content to share with you. Though with Easter almost behind us, I’m unsure what I’ll do next? But I do think I’ll stick with the yellows? But we’ll see.
💕
Have the most wonderful weekend and Easter holiday!!
