Zucchini Eggs

July 10, 2009

Earlier this week, I cooked eggs for Gracie and I to eat for brunch. I prefer my eggs over hard, so that’s how I made them.

This morning, Gracie requested yellow eggs. I guess that was an unsubte hint that she prefers her eggs scrambled.

I didn’t want to eat just a scrambled egg, so I threw some fresh veggies in the pan to saute. I inteded to make a fritata, but it stuck to the pan and turned into scrambled eggs with veggies. The results were delicious.

Zucchini Eggs

1-2 tablespoons butter
1/2 of a small onion, diced
1 small zucchini, thickly sliced into quarter rounds
2 garlic scapes, chopped or 1 small clove garlic
3 large eggs
Milk
Cheese

Melt butter in a large saute pan over medium-low heat. Add diced onion, zucchini, and garlic scapes; cook until the veggies are crisp-tender.
Meanwhile, whisk together eggs and a few splashes of milk. When veggies are just crisp-tender, pour egg mixture into the pan.
Allow the eggs to cook a bit, and then begin stirring and turning over. Continue cooking until eggs are solid and opaque. We like our eggs a wee bit browned, so I let them cook longer.
Sprinkle with shredded colby jack cheese and serve.

Delicious!

Mmmm…I love all kinds of egg-based dishes, and as you can see in my Food on Fridays photo, I do have a big zucchini.

Perhaps your recipe = Kroeker dinner tonight?

Delicious! this is what my girls named “a scramble” and they make it with whatever is at hand — a favorite is cheese, of course! But veggies and eggs are a natural together.. what a happy accident your lunch turned out to be!

I love eating veggies in my eggs. I’ve never had garlic scapes but am keeping my eyes open for them at the market.

Amy – I’d never had them, either, until we got them from our CSA. I’m going to post about them soon.

mmmm, zucchini and onions with eggs are one of our favorite breakfasts around here. I have also used asparagus, spinach and fresh green beans. Any of those makes a delicious omelette or fritatta.

MMMM. I love zucchini in anything. Have you ever tried zucchini fritters for breakfast? Just shredded zucchini, parmesan cheese, salt and pepper, bind with some egg, and pan-fry. Delish.

I have a harder time b/c my DH won’t eat zucchini. I try to get smaller ones so I can eat it all by myself. But hopefully soon my little one will be helping me eat the good veggies my DH doesn’t like!
