Keto Bird Nests
This deliciously low-carb breakfast is light to eat and totally instagram-worthy! Spiralized zucchini noodles are gently seasoned and are each a vibrant bed to a single egg. Feel free to expand on this recipe and add additional seasonings or herbs. You can even add a little cheese for more fat and protein!

Ingredients
Zucchini
8-½ ounce
Olive Oil
2-½ teaspoon
Raw Egg
4 large
Salt
1 teaspoon
Black Pepper
1 teaspoon
Recipe Steps
steps 5
30 min
Step 1
Preheat an oven to 350 degrees and line a sheet tray with aluminum foil or simply grease it. Spiralize a large zucchini, and break up the spirals slightly with your fingers.Step 2
Divide the zucchini into 4 sections (just slightly over 2 oz. each), and arrange them into “nests” on your sheet tray. Create a small space in the center of each nest. Then, drizzle the olive oil gently across the zucchini.Step 3
Crack an egg into each zucchini nest. Sprinkle about ¼ tsp each of the salt and pepper over each bird nest.Step 4
Bake the bird nests for approx 20 minutes. This is enough time for the eggs to fully cook and the zucchini to turn just slightly golden on the edges. Allow the tray to cool for 2-3 minutes before transferring the finished recipe to plates with a spatula.Step 5
You may cook the bird nests for less than 20 minutes, if you want runnier eggs!

Just made this and, WOW, is it delicious! Only substitutions were MCT oil instead of olive. Added 3 g of shredded parm and 5 g of bacon crumbles per nest. Perfect keto blend of macros and only 118 calories each. Baking the zucchini brings out tbe sweetness for a surprising taste and texture. Will definitely add this to my favorite, because I will be making this again and again. Such a great launching pad for adding more yumminess.
