• 1 ½ cups chopped zucchini

• ¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper

2. Cook the Veggies

3. Add the Eggs

   • In a bowl, whisk eggs with salt and pepper.
   • Pour the egg mixture over the veggies.
   • Cook for about 2 minutes, lifting the edges so the uncooked egg can flow underneath.

5. Finish & Serve

   • Slice into 4 portions and enjoy!
