Zucchini Egg Bake:

Great to make ahead of time for a quick breakfast! 


4 tablespoon of butter
1/4 cup of chopped onion 
2-4 zucchinis grated 
Ground meat (I use breakfast sausage. I cook it separately and break it into pieces and then put it in the egg mixture)
3 eggs, beaten
1/3 cup grated cheese (Remember to leave cheese out if you have any concerns about being able to digest dairy properly)
Salt and Pepper to taste
You can also add broccoli, spinach, mushrooms or any other veggies

Cooking Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.  Grate the zucchini. (Chop any other veggies you're using)  Then in a sauté pan heat butter, onion and zucchini until the zucchini is tender (about 7 minutes for me).  Drain off liquid from the pan and then add beef, season to taste, cook until meat is almost fully cooked.  (Meat can also be cooked separately if preferred) Add eggs and mix thoroughly.  Then dump the pan into an 8×8 baking dish.  Grate the cheese on top and bake in the oven uncovered for 35-40 minutes (I did 30 minutes ovens vary).  

**I usually use 6-8 eggs and make it in a larger pan so it lasts longer!!
**Muffin pans also work as now there are individual servings that can be eaten more easily on the go! Just shorten cooking time to 20-30 minutes until eggs are no longer runny.
