For a creamier texture, add a tablespoon of crème fraîche or sour cream to the eggs before cooking. Experiment with different types of cheese, such as Monterey Jack, Gruyere, or Pepper Jack, for a unique flavor profile. Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a touch of heat. Serve with toasted bread, avocado slices, or a side of crispy bacon for a complete and satisfying meal. Ensure the skillet is non-stick to prevent the eggs from sticking and burning. Low and slow is the key to perfectly scrambled eggs. Avoid high heat, which can result in tough, rubbery eggs. If you don't have a non-stick pan, use a regular pan with oil. Make sure to spread the oil evenly.

Follow The Directions
01
StepGrate the zucchini using a box grater. Place the grated zucchini in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out any excess moisture. This step is crucial for preventing soggy scrambled eggs. (5 minutes)
02
StepCrack the eggs into a large nonstick skillet. Place the skillet over low heat. Gently break the yolks with a fork and marble them into the whites, creating a swirl effect. This prevents the yolks from cooking too quickly and ensures even cooking. (2 minutes)
03
StepAdd the grated zucchini and salsa to the eggs as they begin to cook. Gently stir to combine, being careful not to overmix. (3 minutes)
04
StepContinue cooking until the eggs are almost set but still slightly moist. (5 minutes)
05
StepGrate the Cheddar cheese directly over the eggs. Continue cooking until the cheese is melted and bubbly. (2 minutes)
06
StepStir the scrambled eggs gently, season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste, and serve immediately.
