Recipe Instructions:

INGREDIENTS

2 large zucchini spiralized
6 large eggs
6 tbsp shredded parmesan cheese
salt and pepper to taste

INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat oven to. 400°F. Lightly grease the interior of six ramekins. You want ones that are 3.5 inches wide.
Use a few paper towels to squeeze water from zucchini.

Gather zucchini to form into the shape of nests and add to each ramekin, filling each 2/3 full. Zucchini shrinks during cooking so you want to make them taller than you want the final outcome to be.
Break open an egg and drop half of the egg white into one of the ramekins. Set egg yolk and remaining egg white aside. Repeat with other eggs and ramekins.
Sprinkle 1 tbsp cheese to each ramekin. Gently toss zucchini noodles in cheese and egg whites. Both of these will help bind the noodles together.
Bake nests for about 15 minutes or until zucchini is cooked but still crunchy.
Gently add egg yolk and remaining egg white into each ramekin.
Bake for 7-10 minutes until eggs are set. Garnish with pepper, salt and scallions.
