Zucchini Eggs

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
Print
Ingredients
  • 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
Instructions
  1. 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.
  2. Meanwhile, whisk together eggs and a few splashes of milk. When veggies are just crisp-tender, pour egg mixture into the pan.
  3. 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.
  4. 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!
