Zucchini Scrambled Egg

Here's a recipe that is a great way to start your morning with a protein boost and get some veggies all at the same time.

Ingredients:

1 zucchini, sliced down the middle and then sliced into half moon shapes

1 tbsp of olive oil

1/8 of a red onion, sliced 1/4 inch thick and then each ring is cut in half

1/2 of a banana pepper, seeds and membrane removed, cut into 1/4 inch slices

2 tsps of salt

1 tsp of pepper

1 tsp of dried sweet basil

1-2 pinches of red pepper flakes

1/4 tsp of garlic powder

2 eggs, beaten and seasoned to taste

1 to 1.5 tbsps of pecorino romano cheese

Directions: Put 1 tbsp of olive oil in a pan and heat on medium. Slice your zucchini and add it to the pan. Season with salt, pepper, basil, garlic powder and red pepper flakes, and mix. Cook this mixture until it is starting to soften. While you are waiting, cut your onion and banana pepper. Once the zucchini starts to soften, add the onion and pepper and cook until they are tender. While you wait, crack open two eggs, remove the white part (my dad never liked it so I always remove it), season with salt and pepper, then beat your eggs. When the zucchini, onions and peppers are done, add your eggs and top with the pecorino romano cheese. Stir the eggs until they are finished cooking. If you want, you can turn down the heat to low if you feel like the eggs are cooking too fast. When you are done you'll have amazing scrambled eggs to enjoy for your breakfast!

Enjoy!-Katrina
