Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1/4 cup red onion (chopped)
- 1 cup zucchini (diced into matchsticks)
- 1 large egg
- 3/4 cup egg whites
- 2 tablespoons Parmesan Cheese (grated or shredded)
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- fresh black pepper (to taste)
Instructions
- Over medium-low heat, heat oil in a medium nonstick skillet.
- Stir in onion and cook until golden, about 2 to 3 minutes.
- Add zucchini and season with 1/8 teaspoon salt and black pepper, to taste and cook 3 to 4 more minutes stirring occasionally, until tender.
- In a medium bowl, whisk egg, egg whites, Parmesan, 1/4 teaspoon salt and black pepper.
- Add eggs to the skillet making sure eggs cover all the vegetables. Cover and cook until the eggs set, about 5 minutes.
- Flip it over onto your plate and serve with hot sauce, or sriracha if desired.
Notes
- If you're trying to avoid cheese with rennet, you can use Organic Valley Shredded Parmesan or BelGioioso Vegetarian Parmesan, as vegetarian options.
