Makes 2

Ingredients  

  • 1 medium zucchini
  • 1/3 cup parmesan cheese
  • salt and pepper
  • 1 tablespoon Vital Farms Unsalted Butter
  • 4 Vital Farms Eggs

Instructions 

  • Shred the zucchini using a zoodler, box grater, or vegetable peeler into long, thin shreds. Add to a bowl and combine with the parmesan cheese. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the butter and once melted, add the zucchini into four small piles in the skillet, leaving a little space in between each.
  • Let them cook for just a minute or two, until the cheese just starts to melt. Crack an egg on top of each nest, season with salt and pepper, and place a lid on top. Let the eggs cook until the whites have set and the yolks are still runny, about 5 minutes or so.
  • Transfer nests to a plate and enjoy.
