ZUCCHINI AND EGGS



Zucchini and Eggs image

A match made in heaven: scrambled eggs and zucchini. Note: this recipe is easily doubled, tripled, etc. Ratio of 1 to 2 zucchini per egg. Great served over rice. Variations: add one clove diced garlic to oil before adding zucchini. Or, add any of your favorite fresh herbs; they combine well with the eggs and zucchini. My favorite additions are oregano or rosemary. You could also add two teaspoons soy sauce to beaten eggs, or sprinkle over egg and zucchini when cooked.

SCRAMBLED EGGS WITH ZUCCHINI



Scrambled Eggs With Zucchini image

These scrambled eggs, flecked with squash, take just a few more minutes to throw together than plain scrambled eggs, and it's an excellent way to use that zucchini lingering in your vegetable drawer. If you want a richer dish, serve this with avocado.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     breakfast, dinner, easy, quick, weekday, main course

Time 10m

Yield Serves four

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 medium zucchini (about 10 ounces)
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 or 2 garlic cloves, minced (optional)
Salt
freshly ground pepper
6 eggs
2 tablespoons low-fat (2 percent) milk
2 tablespoons minced chives
Optional: 1 medium avocado, diced or sliced, for garnish

Steps:

  • Grate the zucchini on the large holes of a box grater or in a food processor.
  • Heat the olive oil over medium-high heat in a large, heavy nonstick pan. Add the zucchini. Cook, stirring often, until it wilts, about three minutes. Add the garlic, if using, and continue to cook, stirring, for another minute or two until the mixture is very fragrant. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Turn the heat down to medium.
  • Beat the eggs in a medium bowl. Add the milk and salt and pepper to taste, and whisk together. Stir in the chives. Add to the pan with the zucchini, and cook, stirring every few seconds with a wooden spoon or a rubber spatula, until the eggs are scrambled. Remove from the heat and serve, garnished, if you wish, with diced or sliced avocado.

BRAISED EGGS WITH ZUCCHINI, FETA AND LEMON



Braised Eggs With Zucchini, Feta and Lemon image

This dish is a celebration of zucchini, and it can be served any time of the day, really, either on its own or with some good bread to dip into the runny yolks. Although the zucchini blossoms make this look particularly bright and festive, the recipe would work just fine without them. If your zucchini blossoms come with stems or small zucchini attached, simply slice them up and slow-cook them with the rest of the sliced zucchini.

Categories     main course

Time 35m

Yield 3 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 lemons
1/3 cup/70 milliliters olive oil
3 small garlic cloves, crushed with the back of a knife
1 red chile pepper (such as serrano), roughly chopped (and deseeded if you don't like heat)
Flaky sea salt
1 1/3 pounds/600 grams zucchini, thinly sliced on a mandoline
2 leaves rainbow chard (about 3 ounces/80 grams), thinly sliced
2 tablespoons roughly chopped chives
2 tablespoons dill
1/3 cup/40 grams roughly crumbled feta
6 eggs
6 zucchini blossoms, stemmed, halved lengthwise
1 tablespoon/15 grams unsalted butter
1/4 teaspoon Aleppo pepper (or 1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes)

Steps:

  • Take one lemon and use a vegetable peeler to remove 4 strips of zest. Squeeze the lemon to get 1 tablespoon juice, then set aside.
  • Add the oil, garlic, chopped red chile pepper, lemon zest strips and 3/4 teaspoon salt to a large, preferably nonstick sauté pan (for which you have a lid) set over medium heat. Gently fry for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring often, until the oil begins to bubble. (Turn the heat down to medium-low if the oil bubbles too quickly.) Decrease the heat to low, add the zucchini slices (not the blossoms) and continue to cook for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring often, until the zucchini slices are very tender and beginning to brown. Stir in the chard and cook for another few minutes, until wilted.
  • Drain the zucchini and chard over a saucepan to collect the oil, then return the vegetables to the sauté pan. Stir in the herbs, reserved lemon juice and feta. Create 6 hollows with the back of a spoon and carefully break an egg into each hollow (take care not to break the yolks). Lay the zucchini blossoms around the eggs and drizzle them with a teaspoon of the reserved frying oil. Cover the pan with the lid and cook for 4 to 5 minutes over medium-high heat, until the whites are almost set and the yolks are still runny (the eggs will continue cooking once uncovered and taken off the heat).
  • While the eggs cook, add the butter to the reserved oil and gently heat until beginning to brown and bubble, then drizzle over the eggs when they're done. Sprinkle with the Aleppo chile and a good pinch of salt and serve hot with juice from the remaining lemon squeezed on top.

SCRAMBLED EGGS WITH ZUCCHINI

My Dad (who's Italian) used to rustle this anytime dish up for himself. When I was in my 20s in 1996, I flipped when I saw it being served in a trendy Greek restaurant as an appetizer. It's a perfect, tasty meal.
