    Healthy Cooking Tips:

    Make sure you use a pan that is no more than 12 inches in diameter. Otherwise the vegetables get too spread out and will over cook. Have the ingredients ready before cooking so you don't over cook zucchini. Otherwise, it will start to release water and dilute the flavor. Check the firmness of your eggs after about 5-6 minutes to make sure they cook to perfection. They won't be very fluffy because of using more egg whites than yolks, but it helps to beat them well right before pouring over the vegetables.
