Ingredients

2 medium Zucchini
4 large Eggs
2 tablespoons Butter
1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
0.5 teaspoon Salt
0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
2 tablespoons Chopped parsley
0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder

Directions

Step 1

Use a spiralizer to create zucchini spirals from the medium zucchinis. Set aside.

Step 2

In a large non-stick frying pan, melt the butter over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the zucchini spirals to the pan and season with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Toss and cook for about 3-4 minutes until slightly tender.

Step 4

Shape the zucchini spirals into two small nests in the pan, making an indentation in the center of each nest for the egg.

Step 5

Carefully crack 2 eggs into each zucchini nest, maintaining the shape as much as possible.

Step 6

Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the nests, covering both the zucchini and the eggs.

Step 7

Cover the pan with a lid and cook for about 3-5 minutes, or until the eggs are cooked to your liking.

Step 8

Garnish with chopped parsley and serve hot.
