Tomatoes Galore!

Earlier this spring, we planted tomato plants in our garden. In the past couple weeks, they have gone crazy!  This morning post-gardening, I picked a bunch of them and noticed that I also noticed that my basil was nice and plentiful. My gardening skills have always been lacking so I got really excited and decided to make something really great to go with our breakfast.


I diced the tomatoes up, added a drizzle of olive oil, a squeeze of lemon juice, some fresh basil and some salt and pepper.


YUM! Going with the whole tomato-basil concoction, I scrambled some eggs with some fresh mozzarella until the cheese was nice and gooey...


Top the eggs with the tomatoes and serve with your breakfast sides of choice... we love asparagus and sourdough toast. 

I could eat caprese any meal of the day. It's so light and summery and I'll use any excuse to work that tomato-basil-mozzarella combo in with anything. Plus with this plethora of tomatoes and basil in my garden, I'll have 2 out of 3 always handy, for a while at least!
