Eggs Primavera
Yield: Makes 4 servings
Ingredients:
4
small round loaves (4 inches each) whole wheat bread
Nonstick cooking spray
1-1/2
cups chopped onions
3/4
cup chopped yellow summer squash
3/4
cup chopped zucchini
1/2
cup chopped red bell pepper
2
ounces snow peas, trimmed and cut diagonally into thirds
1/4
cup finely chopped fresh parsley
1-1/2
teaspoons finely chopped fresh thyme or 3/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1
teaspoon finely chopped fresh rosemary or 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed
2
whole eggs
4
egg whites
1/4
teaspoon black pepper
1/2
cup (2 ounces) shredded reduced-fat Swiss cheese
Preparation:
1.
Preheat oven to 350°F. Slice top off each loaf of bread. Carefully hollow out each loaf, leaving sides and bottom 1/2 inch thick. Place loaves and tops, cut sides up, on baking sheet. Spray all surfaces of bread with cooking spray; bake 15 minutes or until well toasted.
2.
Spray large nonstick skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium heat until hot. Add onions; cook and stir 3 minutes or until soft. Add yellow squash, zucchini and bell pepper; cook and stir 3 minutes or until crisp-tender. Add snow peas and herbs; cook and stir 1 minute.
3.
Whisk eggs, egg whites and black pepper in small bowl until blended. Add to vegetable mixture; gently stir until eggs begin to set. Sprinkle cheese over top; gently stir until cheese melts and eggs are set but not dry. Fill each bread bowl with 1/4 of egg mixture, about 1 cup. Place tops on bread bowls before serving. Garnish, if desired.
