Ingredients
- 2 mittelgroße Zucchinis
- 3 große Eggs
- 50 g Shredded Cheese
- 1 kleine Onion
- 1 EL Olive Oil
- 1/2 TL Cumin
- 1/4 TL Chili Powder
- 1/2 TL Salt
- 1/4 TL Black Pepper
- 2 EL Fresh Cilantro, chopped
- 1 Prise Cayenne Pepper
Instructions
- First, thoroughly wash the zucchinis and cut them into approximately 1 cm cubes. Peel and finely dice the onion, preparing it for sautéing.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Add the diced onion to the skillet and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until soft and translucent. Be careful not to brown them.
- Add the diced zucchini to the skillet. Stir in the cumin, chili powder, salt, black pepper, and a pinch of cayenne pepper. Mix well and cook for about 5-7 minutes, until the zucchini is tender-crisp.
- Whisk the eggs in a small bowl. Push the zucchini mixture to the side of the skillet and pour the whisked eggs into the center. Scramble the eggs slowly with a spatula until set and creamy.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the entire skillet. Cover the skillet with a lid and let the cheese melt for 1-2 minutes. This helps the cheese melt properly and combine with the other ingredients.
- Finally, garnish with fresh chopped cilantro and serve immediately. This dish is delicious with warm tortillas or as a side dish.
