Directions

Prep 5 minCook 10 min
  1. 1

    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.

  2. 2

    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.

  3. 3

    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.
