Step-By-Step Instructions:
-
Preheat oven to 400°F. Coat a baking
sheet with cooking spray. Slice zucchini in
half lengthwise, scoop the seeds out to make
a boat, and place on the prepared baking
sheet. Roast the zucchini 25 minutes. -
While the zucchini is roasting, add cooking
spray to a medium nonstick sauté pan
over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms,
onion, and sausage to the pan and sauté
7 minutes, or until mushrooms and onion
are tender. -
In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs,
water, hot sauce, salt, and pepper. Pour the
egg mixture over the sautéed veggies and
sausage, gently stirring over medium-low
heat until eggs and vegetable mixture are
thoroughly combined, about 4 minutes. -
Remove the zucchini from the oven and
top each zucchini half with a scant cup of
the egg mixture.
