Low-Carb Zucchini and Green Chile Breakfast Casserole

Directions

Preheat oven to 375 F/190C. Spray 7X11 inch or 8X8 inch casserole pan with nonstick spray or olive oil. Put cottage cheese in a colander placed in the sink and rinse thoroughly with cold water to wash off the “cream”, then let drain. Wash zucchini, cut lengthwise into fourths, then cut away the inner white part of the zucchini, leaving not over 1/2 inch thickness of white still on the skin. Discard white part, and cut remaining zucchini strips crosswise into same-size strips. Put olive oil into nonstick frying pan and saute zucchini over low heat for 4-5 minutes, seasoning with Spike Seasoning , salt, and pepper. Then add undrained green chiles and cook another 4-5 minutes. Layer zucchini/green chile mixture, drained cottage cheese, and cheese into casserole dish. Beat eggs with half and half, cream or milk and pour over other ingredients. Use a fork to gently stir so that zucchini, green chile, cottage cheese, and cheese is evenly distributed in the egg mixture. Bake at 375 for about 25-30 minutes, or until mixture is set and top is nicely browned.
