Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup zucchini (shredded)
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp parmesan (grated)
  • salt, pepper & crushed red pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Shred zucchini and pat with paper towel to remove moisture.
  2. Heat olive oil in a small skillet over medium-low heat. Add zucchini and cook for 2 minutes. Lightly season with salt and pepper.
  3. Make a "well" for the egg. Not so much that the egg will be on the bare pan, but enough to give it a place to nestle in and stay put. Crack the egg and add to the well. Move the white around a bit to distribute it throughout the zucchini.
  4. Cover and cook until whites are set. About 3-5 minutes.
  5. Top with parmesan, more salt, pepper & crushed red pepper.
  6. Enjoy!

Notes

If you don’t like a runny yolk- once the white is mostly set, break the yolk and flip.
