* great for breakfast or dinner!

Ingredients:


  • 2 small zucchini - shredded
  • 1 white onion - diced
  • 3 gloved of garlic - minced
  • 2 Tbs Olive Oil
  • 6 eggs - beaten
  • 1/2 cup bread crumbs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan Cheese


Directions:


  1. Preheat oven to 350
  2. Saute onions & garlic in Olive oil
  3. Add the shredded zucchini and saute for 3 min, stirring frequently
  4. In another bowl, beat eggs. Then add milk, bread crumbs, and cheese together.
  5. Add Zucchini and onions to egg mixture and stir together.
  6. Pour into a greased casserole pan. (9x9)
  7. Bake for 30 min.
  8. Serve hot or cold. Good with crusty french bread and a salad.

Tips:



  • You can also add diced ham (1/2 cup) or crumbled bacon for a more hearty meal. 
  • Chris will splash some hot sauce on as well.
  • Instead of a casserole dish, you can fry your veggies in a cast iron skillet and pour the eggs into that and then place directly into the oven. (Less dishes to clean!)
  • You can also pour the mixture into a muffin tin for single serve portions. Just decrease the cooking time by 5-10 min.
