Egg Stuffed Zucchini
This dish features fresh zucchini filled with a savory egg mixture, making it a healthy, low-carb option that everyone will love.
Ingredients:
- 2 medium zucchinis
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella works great)
- 1/4 cup diced tomatoes (fresh or canned)
- 1/4 cup chopped onion
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil for drizzling
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Wash the zucchinis thoroughly, then slice them in half lengthwise. Carefully scoop out the insides, creating a hollow shell for the filling. Set the zucchini shells aside and chop the scooped-out flesh.
- In a skillet, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until they are soft and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the chopped zucchini flesh and diced tomatoes to the skillet. Season with oregano, salt, and pepper, cooking for another 5-7 minutes until everything is well combined and softened.
- Remove the skillet from heat and let it cool slightly. In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs, then stir in the sautéed mixture along with the shredded cheese.
- Generously spoon the egg mixture into each zucchini shell, filling them to the top.
- Place the stuffed zucchinis in a baking dish. Drizzle a little more olive oil on top and cover the dish with foil.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. After this time, remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the zucchinis are tender and the egg is fully set.
- Carefully remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes before serving.
