Ingredients
Cheddar cheese ½ cup, shredded or 57g
Directions
- Spiralize, shred, or julienne zucchini into thin slices or "noodles." Cut bacon slices in half, then cut them lengthwise into ¼ inch thick strips - like bacon noodles.
- In a heavy saute pan, cook the bacon for about 3 minutes. Add the zucchini and mix well. Season with salt and pepper and spread out within the pan evenly. Flatten slightly, creating four depressions for the eggs.
- Sprinkle with the cheese. Break one egg into each dent. Cook on medium-high heat for about 3 minutes, then cover and cook for an additional 2-4 minutes, or until the eggs are cooked to your liking and the bottom is crispy. Serve hot.
