Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium Zucchini
- 4 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Chopped parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
Instructions
Use a spiralizer to create zucchini spirals from the medium zucchinis. Set aside.
In a large non-stick frying pan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the zucchini spirals to the pan and season with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Toss and cook for about 3-4 minutes until slightly tender.
Shape the zucchini spirals into two small nests in the pan, making an indentation in the center of each nest for the egg.
Carefully crack 2 eggs into each zucchini nest, maintaining the shape as much as possible.
Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the nests, covering both the zucchini and the eggs.
Cover the pan with a lid and cook for about 3-5 minutes, or until the eggs are cooked to your liking.
Garnish with chopped parsley and serve hot.
