• 9 ingredients
• 20 minutes
• 4 Servings

Ingredients

2 cups of sliced zucchini
1/2 cup of diced onion
1/4 cup of green pepper
1 egg
1/4 cup of 1% milk
2 tablespoons of canola oil
1 tablespoon of garlic and herb seasoning mix
1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup of low-fat shredded cheese (use your favorite)

Directions

1. Wash the zucchini, then slice it to obtain approximately 2 cups.
2. Dice the onion and green pepper, and set them aside with the sliced zucchini.
3. In a separate bowl, stir together the egg and milk, then set the mixture aside.
4. In a pan, sauté the vegetables in 2 tablespoons of oil over medium heat until they are tender. Remove the vegetables from the pan.
5. Scramble the egg mixture in the same pan until it is thoroughly cooked. Stir in the sautéed vegetable mixture and fold them together.
6. Continue cooking until the temperature reaches 145 degrees Fahrenheit (63 degrees Celsius).
7. Sprinkle the seasoning and cheese on top of the mixture.
8. Serve the dish warm when the cheese has melted.

Notes

Use fresh zucchini: Opt for fresh zucchini with a bright color and firm texture to ensure better results during cooking.

Pat the zucchini dry. Before cooking, gently pat the sliced zucchini dry with a paper towel to remove any excess moisture. This helps prevent the eggs from becoming too watery.

Add cheese towards the end. To prevent the cheese from overcooking and becoming stringy, sprinkle it over the dish just before the eggs are fully cooked. This allows the cheese to melt and blend with the eggs and zucchini without becoming overly gooey.

Season well: Enhance the flavors of the dish by seasoning the eggs and zucchini with salt, pepper, and other desired seasonings, such as garlic powder or fresh herbs.

Serve hot: For the best taste and texture, serve Cheesy Zucchini and Eggs immediately after cooking while it's still hot and fresh from the stove.

Use heavy cream for a creamier flavor: Instead of 1% milk, you can substitute heavy cream to add a richer and more creamy taste to the dish. Adjust the quantity according to your preferences.
