Ingredients

  • 10 Large Eggs
  • 1/2 Cup Heavy Cream (or milk)
  • 1/3 Cup Freshly Grated Parmesan + more for serving
  • 2 Tbsp Basil Pesto
  • 1 Tbsp Olive Oil
  • 1 Small Green Bell Pepper, diced
  • 2 Cups Broccoli Florets
  • 1 Small Zucchini, quartered and sliced
  • 2 Green Onion Stalks, thinly sliced
  • 1 Cup Kale, roughly chopped
  • Salt and Pepper
  • Optional Toppings: Fresh Basil, Chopped Avocado

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large spouted bowl, whisk together the eggs, Parmesan cheese, basil pesto and about one teaspoon each of salt and pepper. Set aside.
  • In a large, oven-proof skillet heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the green pepper and broccoli. Cook until they become slightly softened, about 3-4 minutes. 
  • Add the zucchini and the green onion and cook for 2-3 minutes until the zucchini become slightly soft, but are still firm. Add the chopped kale and stir for 1-2 minutes until the kale slightly wilts.
  • Remove the skillet from the heat and whisk the egg mixture one last time. Pour the eggs into the skillet with the vegetables, making sure that the egg is spread in an even layer.
  • Cook in the oven for 15-20 minutes until the eggs are cooked through and puffy (mine took about 17 minutes). Let cool in the skillet for a couple minutes before slicing. Top with freshly grated parmesan and (optional) fresh basil and diced avocado.
