Ingredients
- 4 Large zucchinis, (about 2 lbs)
- Salt
- 4 Eggs
- 1 Cup Egg Whites, (About 8 egg whites)
- 1/2 Cup Fat Free Plain Greek Yogurt
- Black Pepper
- 2 Cups Broccoli, Chopped into bite sized pieces
- 2 Cups Kale, Torn and lightly packed
- 1 1/2 Cups Reduced Fat Shredded Cheddar Cheese, Divided
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and spray a 10 Inch Cast Iron skillet with cooking spray. Set aside.
- Using the 6mm blade on your spiralizer, spiralize the zucchinis, so that they turn into long noodles. *
- Place the zucchini into a strainer set over a large bowl and sprinkle with salt. Let them sit for 20 minutes, stirring around every so often.
- While the zucchini noodles sit, whisk together the eggs and egg whites in a large bowl. Add in the Greek yogurt and a pinch of pepper and additional salt. Whisk until smooth and creamy.
- Once the zucchini has sat, squeeze out as much excess water as you can. Then, transfer the zucchini noodles onto a paper towel and dry off, again, as much as you can.
- Stir the zucchini noodles, broccoli, kale and 1 cup of the Cheddar cheese into the egg mixture and mix well.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared skillet and spread out evenly. Sprinkle with remaining Cheddar cheese.
- Bake until the eggs feel set and begin to slightly pull away from the side of the skillet, about 40-45 minutes. Turn your oven to HIGH broil and broil an additional 2-3 minutes or until the top turns golden brown.
- DEVOUR!
