Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large Zucchini
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 4 medium Eggs
- 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Wash and trim the ends of the zucchinis. Using a spiralizer, cut the zucchinis into noodles (zoodles).
In a large mixing bowl, toss the zoodles with olive oil, salt, and black pepper until well coated.
Divide the zoodles into four equal portions and place each portion into a non-stick muffin tin or ramekin, pressing them down to form a nest shape with a small well in the center.
Crack an egg into the center of each zucchini nest, being careful to keep the yolk intact.
Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the top of each nest.
Place the muffin tin or ramekins in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the eggs are cooked to your preference.
Remove from the oven and let them cool for a minute. Carefully remove the nests from the muffin tin or ramekins using a spoon or a small spatula.
Garnish each nest with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
Serve immediately and enjoy your low carb bird's nest as a tasty breakfast or brunch option.
