INGREDIENTS
SERVES 2
1/2 package of zucchini spirals
2 Eggland's Best large eggs, soft-boiled
1/2 cup of pesto
1/2 cup of avocado
1 ounce of cheese, Parmesan
DIRECTIONS
1. Bring a pot of water to a boil. Drop spiralized zucchini noodles into the water, then as soon as the water starts to bubble remove the zucchini noodles with a pair of tongs to a colander to drain.
2. If your Eggland's Best eggs aren't cooked yet, use the boiling water that is already in the pot to poach (five minutes) or soft-boil (6.5 minutes).
3. Stir 1/4 cup of pesto into each bowl of zucchini noodles.
4. Top the noodles with sliced avocado and an Eggland's Best egg.
5. Garnish with fresh cracked black pepper and shredded parmesan cheese or nutritional yeast (if using).
