Ingredients:
- 2 medium zucchini, sliced into rounds
- 4 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (or your preferred cheese)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- Fresh herbs for garnish (such as parsley, chives, or basil)
Instructions:
- Sauté the Zucchini: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced zucchini and sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender and lightly browned. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant. Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using).
- Cook the Eggs: Make small wells in the zucchini with a spatula, and crack an egg into each well. Lower the heat slightly and cover the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the whites are set and the yolks are still slightly runny (or longer if you prefer firmer yolks).
- Add Cheese: Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the eggs and zucchini. Cover again for 1 minute to melt the cheese.
- Serve: Garnish with fresh herbs and serve the Zucchini Egg Skillet directly from the pan, either as-is or with crusty bread on the side.
