Grilled Cantaloupe with Prosciutto, Burrata & Arugula
Instead of doing the typical tomato / basil thing, I decided to go out on a limb and try Grilled Cantaloupe with Prosciutto, Burrata & Arugula. Burrata is a fresh Italian cheese, made from mozzarella and cream. The outer shell is solid mozzarella while the inside contains both mozzarella and cream, giving it an unusual, soft texture.
I love grilled fruit. This recipe would also work with peaches or nectarines.

Mexican Scrambled Eggs
This Mexican Scrambled Eggs recipe is from Nigella Lawson. I had all the ingredients and made it within 5 minutes of reading the recipe. There is nothing more satisfying than that. I even used one of my jalapeños from my garden. I have modified the recipe slightly to include cheese and finishing it under the broiler. Everyone at my breakfast table LOVED it.....
