Ingredients

Cooking spray

4 spray(s)

Whole wheat bread

4 slice(s)

Canola oil

½ tsp

Red onion

½ cup(s), chopped, diced

Red bell pepper

½ cup(s), diced

Uncooked zucchini

½ cup(s), sliced, diced

Jalapeño pepper

1 medium, seeded and minced

Table salt

½ tsp

Egg

4 large egg(s)

Egg whites

4 large

Black pepper

¼ tsp

Shredded reduced fat Mexican-style cheese

½ cup(s)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Lightly coat 4 (8-ounce) ramekins or oven-safe baking dishes with cooking spray. Cut 4-inch circle from each slice bread and firmly press 1 into bottom of each ramekin; set aside. Discard scraps or save for another use.
  2. Whisk together eggs, egg whites, remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt, and pepper in medium bowl until frothy; stir in cooked vegetables and 1/4 cup cheese blend. Divide mixture evenly among ramekins. Sprinkle each with 1 tablespoon remaining cheese.
  3. Place ramekins on small baking sheet and bake until tip of knife inserted into center of each casserole comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Remove from oven and cool 5–10 minutes before serving.
  4. Heat oil in medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion, red pepper, zucchini, jalapeño, and 1/4 teaspoon salt; cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables soften, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
  5. Serving size: 1 casserole
