Time 50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 medium onion, diced
2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh sage
1 large clove garlic, minced
1 small jalapeno pepper, minced with some seeds
3 large zucchini or yellow summer squash, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
2 teaspoons white wine vinegar
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup chopped roasted red pepper
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley or cilantro
8 large eggs

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring, until soft and lightly browned, about 6 minutes. Add the sage, garlic and jalapenos and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the squash, vinegar, 3/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper and stir to combine. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until the squash begins to soften, 6 to 8 minutes. Uncover and add the red pepper and half of the parsley.

  • Sprinkle with the remaining parsley and serve.

SCRAMBLED EGGS WITH ZUCCHINI



Scrambled Eggs With Zucchini image

These scrambled eggs, flecked with squash, take just a few more minutes to throw together than plain scrambled eggs, and it's an excellent way to use that zucchini lingering in your vegetable drawer. If you want a richer dish, serve this with avocado.

SKILLET EGGS WITH SQUASH



Skillet Eggs With Squash image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 1h10m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 pounds (6 medium) summer squash and/or zucchini
Kosher salt
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 scallions, thinly sliced, white and green parts separated
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced
3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
Freshly ground pepper
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
6 large eggs
1/2 cup grated pepper jack or sharp white cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Grate the squash into a colander using the large holes of a box grater (or use a food processor fitted with the shredding attachment). Toss with 1 tablespoon salt, then let drain in the sink, 30 to 40 minutes. Squeeze the squash to remove as much liquid as possible.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Heat the olive oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Set aside 3 tablespoons scallion greens. Add the remaining scallions (white and green parts), the jalapeno, and salt to taste and cook until the scallions are soft, about 3 minutes. Add the shredded squash and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 7 minutes. Stir in the parsley, nutmeg, and pepper to taste. Cook until the mixture is slightly dry, about 1 more minute. Remove from the heat and let cool, 5 minutes.
  • Spread the squash evenly in the skillet. Make six 2 1/2-inch-wide indentations in the mixture with the back of a spoon; put 1/2 teaspoon butter in each one. One at a time, crack each egg into a small bowl and pour into an indentation. Season with salt and pepper, and sprinkle with the cheese.
  • Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake until the egg whites are set and the yolks are cooked to desired doneness, 10 to 12 minutes. Scatter the reserved scallion greens on top.

ZUCCHINI AND EGGS



Zucchini and Eggs image

A match made in heaven: scrambled eggs and zucchini. Note: this recipe is easily doubled, tripled, etc. Ratio of 1 to 2 zucchini per egg. Great served over rice. Variations: add one clove diced garlic to oil before adding zucchini. Or, add any of your favorite fresh herbs; they combine well with the eggs and zucchini. My favorite additions are oregano or rosemary. You could also add two teaspoons soy sauce to beaten eggs, or sprinkle over egg and zucchini when cooked.
