For the Nests

  • ½ teaspoon Salt enhances flavor and removes moisture; adjust before baking based on taste
  • 1 spray Cooking Spray lightly grease with cooking spray or olive oil to prevent sticking
For the Filling
  • 6 large Eggs recommended for richness; swap with egg whites for a lighter option

  • paper towels

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Zoodle Egg Nests
  1. Begin by spiralizing 5-6 small zucchinis into noodles. Sprinkle with ½ teaspoon of salt and let them sit for about 10 minutes while preheating your oven to 400°F (204°C).
  2. Wrap the zucchinis in paper towels and gently squeeze to remove excess moisture. Ensure they feel slightly firm and dry.
  3. Lightly spray a baking sheet with cooking spray or brush it with olive oil. Form squeezed zoodles into six separate nests on the baking sheet, creating wells for the eggs.
  4. Crack one egg into each zoodle nest. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper, and sprinkle 1-2 tablespoons of Parmesan cheese on top.
  5. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 6-8 minutes until eggs are set but still slightly undercooked.
  6. Once baked, allow the nests to cool for about one minute, garnish with fresh herbs if desired, and serve warm.
