    List of Ingredients


    • 2 t. Smart Balance spread
    • 1/2 c. sliced onion
    • 1/2 c. sliced red bell pepper
    • 1/2 c. sliced zucchini
    • 2 small plum tomatoes, diced
    • 1 T. chopped fresh basil
    • pinch of black pepper
    • 1/2 c. liquid egg substitute
    • 1/2 c. low fat cottage cheese
    • 1/4 c. fat-free evaporated milk
    • 3/4 oz. shredded reduced-fat Monterey Jack cheese


    Instructions


    1. Coat an ovenproof 10" skillet with cooking spray and place over medium-low heat until hot. Melt the spread in the skillet. Add the onion, bell pepper, and zucchini and saute over medium-low heat until the vegetables are lightly browned, 2-3 minutes. Add the tomatoes, basil, and black pepper to the skillet and stir to combine. Cook until the flavors are blended, 2-3 minutes, then remove from heat.
    2. Preheat the broiler. In a blender, combine the egg substitute, cottage cheese, and milk and process until smooth. Pour the egg mixture over vegetables. Cover and cook on medium-low heat until the bottom is set and the top is still slightly wet. Transfer the skillet to the broiler and broil until the top is set, 2-3 minutes. Sprinkle with the cheese and broil until melted.
