Items that you’ll need:

  • 1 round, glassware baking dish
  • 1 vegetable peeler

Ingredients:

  • 6 eggs
  • 1/2 cup Pete & Gerry’s Organic Cage Free Liquid Egg Whites
  • 1 medium zucchini
  • 2 cups chopped fresh organic spinach
  • 1/2 cup diced Nature’s Promise organic mushrooms, (available at Stop n Shop)
  • 1/2 cup diced onion
  • 5 oz. freshly shaved Parmesan
  • 2 pieces of Nature’s Promise Organic Pre-cooked Hickory Smoked Bacon, (available at Stop n Shop)
  • olive oil spray

Instructions:

  • Lightly coat a large cooking pan with olive oil spray, & sauté the diced onions & mushroom on medium heat.
  • Add the spinach & continue sautéing until excess water has evaporated.
  • Wash & peel the zucchini skin, and peel the zucchini, evenly on four sides, creating thin, flat strips of zucchini, until the center & the seeds are visible. Discard the center & the seeds of the zucchini.
  • Place the zucchini strips in a separate dish & microwave for 1 minute. Drain moisture.
  • Spray the round, glassware baking dish with olive oil spray.
  • Lay the zucchini strips in a cross-section pattern in the dish to form what will become the crust.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • Heat the pre-cooked bacon in the microwave for 20 seconds. Break into small pieces.
  • In a large mixing bowl, scramble the eggs & the 1/2 cup egg whites thoroughly. Add the sautéd spinach, onions, mushrooms, bacon, & 4 1/2 oz. of the shaved Parmesan, and scramble thoroughly again.
  • Gently pour the mixture into the round, glassware baking dish onto the zucchini strips.
  • Gently lay the remaining shavings of Parmesan evenly atop the mixture.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes, or until eggs have set.
  • Let cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.
