How to cook it

Cooking cue

Cook eggs just until set so they stay tender instead of rubbery.

  1. Preheat the oven to 425F and line or lightly grease the pan you plan to use.
  2. 1. Heat your oven to 350°F and coat a muffin pan or silicone cups with cooking spray.
  3. 2. Shred the zucchini using a grater or food processor, then wrap it in a clean dish towel and squeeze firmly until no moisture remains; measure out 1½ cups.
  4. 3. Drain the canned green chiles, remove any seeds if desired, then dice finely and press with paper towels to remove excess liquid; combine in a bowl with the squeezed zucchini, Mexican blend cheese, and Parmesan.
  5. 4. Whisk the eggs and buttermilk together and stir into the zucchini mixture.
  6. 5. In a separate bowl, combine the white whole wheat flour, monkfruit sweetener, salt, baking soda, and baking powder, then fold into the wet mixture until just incorporated—the batter will be thick.
  7. 6. Divide batter among muffin cups, filling each to the top without overflowing, and bake for 45-50 minutes until deeply browned and cooked through.
  8. Cook eggs just until set so they stay tender instead of rubbery.
  9. 7. Cool the muffins in the pan for 15 minutes before serving warm, optionally with butter.
  10. Taste and adjust the seasoning at the end, then serve while everything is hot or freshly chilled.
