8 eggs
2 tbsp sour cream
1 zucchini
1/2 onion
1 orange bell pepper
4 pieces cooked bacon (crumbled)
3/4 cup shredded cheese (any kind)
1 tbsp oil
Adjust your top oven rack so the skillet will be 6 inches below the broiler; turn on broiler
Dice the onion and bell pepper, sautee in oil in a large oven-safe skillet, once these are cooked add diced zucchini and crumbled bacon
Meanwhile, whisk the eggs and sour cream together (it was the only dairy I had, but it usually calls for milk or cream)
Once the zucchini has lightly cooked, pour egg mixture and 1/2 cup of shredded cheese into skillet and stir until eggs are slightly cooked (you want to see cooked egg scattered throughout, but loose egg in between)
Scatter the remaining shredded cheese on top and put skillet under the broiler for ~4 minutes
Yield: 4 servings

Thoughts: This turned out better than I thought it would! I decided to experiment with bell pepper again...I could have done without it and put something else in its place (asparagus perhaps?) It was a little too sweet, although I did munch on some of it raw and liked it much better that way :) Anyways...I also could have really used a non-stick skillet! I don't own one (yet!) and it's definitely going to take a lot of elbow grease to get that pan clean. This also marks the first time I've used my broiler since I've lived in this apartment haha! I was also a bit nervous about using the sour cream as a substitute, but it turned out fine. I'm not sure if I would even be able to tell a difference if I didn't use it!
