Hot & Spicy Squash Noodles With Scrambled Eggs Recipe

Hot peppers aren’t just good
in chili or enchilada sauce, they’re also good for you. Especially if you
exercise and workout. They’re full of capsaicin, which promotes metabolism and
stamina. They’re also loaded with vitamins and antioxidants.

I love to combine them with
eggs and summer squash for an early morning treat that will keep me full and
energized!

Ingredients:

1 summer squash or zucchini,
thinly sliced

½ teaspoon kosher salt

2 teaspoons olive oil

¼ teaspoon black pepper

4 large organic eggs

1 whole cayenne pepper or
hot pepper of you choice, sliced into rings

1 teaspoon chili powder

1 teaspoon hot smoked
paprika (If you don’t have that, combine 
¾ teaspoon paprika with ¼ teaspoon of cayenne powder)

½ cup halved cherry tomatoes

2 scallions (white and green
parts), sliced

¼ cup shredded Monterey jack

Instructions:

Place summer squash or
zucchini slices on paper towels. Divide salt between the slices and let sit for
5-10 minutes to draw moisture out. Rinse the salt off, and pat dry.

In a large frying pan, heat
the olive oil over medium heat. Season the squash with pepper, and cook until
softened, about 5 minutes. Remove the squash from the frying pan, and turn the
heat to medium-low.

Whisk the eggs together in a
medium bowl and add the hot pepper, chili powder, hot smoked paprika, tomatoes,
scallions and cheese. Whisk together again.

Pour mixture into the frying
pan and cook stirring frequently, until they’re done just the way you love
them.

Serve the eggs with the
squash.

What a great start to the
day!
