Serves 6
Prep Time 15 min
Cook Time 15 min

Ingredients

  • 5 eggs
  • 1 tbsp (15 mL) chopped fresh dill (or 1 tsp/5 mL dried dill)
  • 1 small zucchini (about 6 inches/15 cm), grated
  • 1 tbsp (15 mL) low fat cream cheese
  • ½ cup (125 mL) diced jarred roasted red peppers
  • 1 tbsp (15 mL) chopped pitted kalamata olives
  • 1 soft crust whole wheat baguette

Instructions

  • Step 1

    Whisk eggs and dill; set aside.

  • Step 2

    Spray large non-stick skillet with cooking spray. Heat skillet over medium-high heat. Add zucchini and cook for 3 minutes. Pour in egg mixture and immediately reduce heat to medium-low. As mixture begins to set, gently move spatula across bottom and sides of skillet to form large, soft curds. Cook until eggs are thickened and no visible liquid egg remains, about 5 minutes.

  • Step 3

    Add cream cheese and stir until melted; remove skillet from heat. Stir in peppers and olives; let cool slightly.

  • Step 4

    Cut baguette in half lengthwise and pull out some of the bread leaving about a 1/2 inch (1 cm) edge. Spoon egg mixture into bottom of baguette; top with other half.

  • Step 5

    Slice into six pieces or wrap well with plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to one day before serving.
