Ingredients
- 8-½ ounce Zucchini
- 2-½ teaspoon Olive Oil
- 4 large Raw Egg
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black Pepper
Preparation
- Preheat an oven to 350 degrees and line a sheet tray with aluminum foil or simply grease it. Spiralize a large zucchini, and break up the spirals slightly with your fingers.
- Divide the zucchini into 4 sections (just slightly over 2 oz. each), and arrange them into “nests” on your sheet tray. Create a small space in the center of each nest. Then, drizzle the olive oil gently across the zucchini.
- Crack an egg into each zucchini nest. Sprinkle about ¼ tsp each of the salt and pepper over each bird nest.
- Bake the bird nests for approx 20 minutes. This is enough time for the eggs to fully cook and the zucchini to turn just slightly golden on the edges. Allow the tray to cool for 2-3 minutes before transferring the finished recipe to plates with a spatula.
- You may cook the bird nests for less than 20 minutes, if you want runnier eggs!
