Notes

Cooking Tips
  • Avoid Sogginess: Sauté mushrooms first to release their moisture before adding zucchini; this prevents a watery scramble.
  • Pan Temperature: Use medium-high heat for the vegetables to get a golden sear, then lower to medium before adding eggs to keep them creamy.
  • Zucchini Prep: Slice zucchini into uniform half-moons (about 1/4 inch thick) so they cook evenly without turning to mush.
Ingredient Substitutions
  • Mushrooms: Cremini or Baby Bella offer the best "meaty" texture, but white button mushrooms work for a milder flavor.
  • Dairy-Free: Omit the feta or swap with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice for brightness.
  • Extra Protein: Add a tablespoon of hemp seeds or serve with a side of smoked salmon.
Storage & Safety
  • Reheating: Reheat in a skillet over low heat for 2-3 minutes; microwaving can make the eggs rubbery.
  • Shelf Life: Best enjoyed immediately, but can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 48 hours.
