Ingredients
6 slices from a giant zucchini, cut 3/4 inch thick
6 eggs, at room temperature
Spike Seasoning
salt and fresh-ground pepper to taste
3/4 cup grated Monterey Jack Cheese
Sour Cream and Green Tabasco Sauce for serving if desired
Directions
Take eggs out of the fridge and let them come to room temperature while you prepare the zucchini and bake the rings. Preheat oven to 400F/200C. Spray a 9″ x 12″ casserole dish with non-stick spray. Cut the giant zucchini into slices at least 3/4 inch thick. Then cut out a hole in the center of each zucchini with a cookie cutter or a small glass. Put zucchini rings into the casserole dish and season with Spike Seasoning, salt, and fresh ground black pepper. Bake zucchini rings 15 minutes, or until the zucchini is starting to feel barely soft when you pierce it with a fork. Gently break an egg into each zucchini hole and season the eggs with fresh-ground black pepper and a little salt. Put zucchini with eggs back into the oven and bake about 2 minutes or until they’re barely starting to look set. Sprinkle grated Monterey Jack cheese over the top of the zucchini and eggs and bake until cheese is melted and yolks are cooked to your preference, probably about 10 minutes more. Serve hot, with some sour cream and Green Tabasco Sauce if desired.
