Ingredients
Scale
4 medium zucchinis
8 slices of bacon
8 large eggs
1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh herbs for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Slice the zucchinis in half lengthwise and scoop out the center to create nests.
Cook the bacon in a skillet until crispy, then crumble it into small pieces.
Place the zucchini halves on a baking sheet and fill each with crumbled bacon.
Crack an egg into each zucchini nest and season with salt and pepper.
Top with shredded cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the eggs are set to your liking.
Garnish with fresh herbs if desired and serve warm.
Notes
For a spicier version, add some red pepper flakes.
Make sure to adjust the baking time based on how runny you like your eggs.
These nests can be made ahead of time and reheated for a quick meal.
