Ingredients
- 2 zucchini, cut into thin strips using a vegetable peeler
- 1/4 pound ham or cooked bacon, chopped
- 1/2 chopped red bell pepper
- 8 eggs
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, Gouda, fontina, Muenster, mozzarella, Swiss, etc.)
- red pepper flakes (optional)
Here's how to make it:
- Lightly spray muffin tins with nonstick cooking spray. Line the sides and bottom of each muffin cup with zucchini strips.
- Add the chopped ham or bacon (cook and crumble first if using bacon) and red bell pepper on top of the zucchini "crust."
- In a bowl, combine the eggs, cream, Italian seasoning and red pepper flakes, if using. Season with salt and pepper. Pour the mixture into each muffin cup. Top with the shredded cheese.
- Bake in a preheated 400-degree F oven for about 30 minutes.
