Ingredients

  • 1 medium zucchini or any summer squash (size doesn't matter as long as it fits in your skillet of choice)
  • 1-2 tbsp olive oil
  • ½ tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp garlic powder use less if you're not huge on garlic!
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • salt to taste
  • black pepper to taste
  • 2 large eggs

Instructions

  • First, wash and slice the zucchini into ¼ inch round coins. Slice each coin in half if you want a faster cook.
  • In a small-medium sized skillet, add the zucchini. Drizzle the olive oil and spices and mix until the zucchini is fully coated in the oil/spice mixture. Turn the stove on high. Cook and stir occasionally until the zucchini becomes browned and slightly soft.
  • Next, turn the stove onto medium low and make 2 small holes in the zucchini skillet. Crack each egg directly into each hole. Season to taste again with salt and pepper then place the skillet's lid on the pan. Let it cook for about 3 minutes (covered) or until the egg whites are cooked through.
  • Once the eggs are cooked to your liking * remove from the heat and serve immediatley! I like to serve this meal with a fresh piece of toasted sourdough and butter;) Store any leftovers in the refrigerator! You can also make a huge pan for a family meal or prep throughout the week.*

Notes

*I personally think that over-easy eggs are the best. Especially when you have a vegetable to soak up the runny yolk. Tt's really so yummy. But whatever way you want to cook your eggs will be just as tasty! Just keep in mind that the eggs cook REALLY fast after the 2 minute (from being covered) mark. 
*If you want to make this meal for your entire family, double or triple the ingredients! You can also add more eggs, other vegetables, or even bacon to make this meal more suitable for a family-style dish!
