Zucchini boats are the veggie vessel you didn’t know you needed. Hollow out a zucchini, crack an egg inside, bake, and suddenly breakfast feels fancy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is low-carb, high-protein, and endlessly customizable. The zucchini gets tender, the egg bakes up perfectly runny or set (your call), and the cheese on top gets golden and bubbly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ingredients<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Serves 2.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
2 medium zucchini (firm, straight ones work best)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
2 large eggs<\/li>\n\n\n\n
\u00bc cup shredded Parmesan or mozzarella cheese<\/li>\n\n\n\n
1 tablespoon olive oil<\/li>\n\n\n\n
\u00bc teaspoon salt<\/li>\n\n\n\n
\u00bc teaspoon black pepper<\/li>\n\n\n\n
\u00bc teaspoon garlic powder<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Fresh parsley or chives for garnish<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Optional: red pepper flakes, crumbled bacon, or diced tomato<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Step-by-Step Instructions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Step 1: Prep the Zucchini Boats<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n
Preheat oven to 400\u00b0F (200\u00b0C). Line a baking dish with parchment paper.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Cut each zucchini in half lengthwise.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Scoop out the center seeds and some flesh to create a canoe-like boat. Leave about \u00bc-inch walls.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Chop the scooped-out flesh and save for another use (or add to eggs).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
Step 2: Season and Bake First<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n
Brush zucchini boats with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Place in baking dish and bake for 10 minutes (this prevents soggy bottoms).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
Step 3: Add the Egg<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n
Remove from oven. Carefully crack one egg into each zucchini boat.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
If egg white spills over, just trim it off or let it bake into a crispy edge.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
Step 4: Top and Finish Baking<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n
Sprinkle cheese over the eggs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Bake for 12-15 minutes until egg whites are set and yolks reach your desired doneness.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
Step 5: Garnish and Serve<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n
Top with fresh herbs and red pepper flakes. Eat with a fork right out of the boat.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
These are best fresh. The zucchini releases water as it sits. Store in the fridge for up to 2 days, but expect softer boats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Reheating:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Reheat in a 350\u00b0F oven for 5-7 minutes or in an air fryer at 325\u00b0F for 4 minutes. Microwave makes them watery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Make-Ahead Prep:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Scoop and season the zucchini boats up to 2 days ahead. Store covered in the fridge. Add eggs and bake when ready.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
