Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables
- 2 cups zucchini, sliced and halved
- 2 cups grape tomatoes, halved
Other Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon cooking oil (coconut or olive oil)
- 6 large eggs
- ¼ cup shredded parmesan cheese (can be substituted for your favorite cheese)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Parsley, optional garnish
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit to get it ready for baking the egg dish.
- Heat Oil and Vegetables: Place an oven-safe pan over medium-high heat and add the cooking oil. Once hot, add zucchini and grape tomatoes to the pan, cooking until the tomatoes blister, about 3-5 minutes. This softens the vegetables and develops flavor.
- Prepare Eggs: Remove the pan from heat, then carefully crack the 6 eggs over the cooked zucchini and tomatoes in the pan, distributing evenly.
- Season and Add Cheese: Sprinkle salt and pepper over the eggs to taste, followed by a generous sprinkle of shredded parmesan cheese, enhancing flavor and creating a delicious crust as it bakes.
- Bake the Egg Dish: Place the oven-safe pan directly into the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the eggs reach your desired doneness—softer or fully set.
- Garnish and Serve: Once baked, remove the pan from the oven and garnish with chopped parsley if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy your nutritious egg bake.
Notes
- You can substitute the parmesan cheese with any cheese of your preference such as cheddar, feta, or mozzarella for different flavors.
- Make sure to use an oven-safe pan to avoid damage and ensure even cooking.
- Adjust baking time depending on how runny or firm you like your eggs.
- Fresh parsley adds a bright, fresh garnish but can be omitted if unavailable.
- For added protein or flavor, consider adding cooked bacon, ham, or sausage before baking.
