Making zucchini egg nests is easy and fun! These tasty egg nests are a perfect way to start the day. They’re keto friendly and super simple!

Egg nests are sometimes made with noodles or cloud bread, this version is great for those of you who are watching your carbs! The bed for these eggs is actually made from spiralized zucchini.

What are zucchini noodles?

This recipe uses zucchini noodles to make the egg nests. Zucchini noodles or “zoodles” as they’re affectionately called on the internet are just long thin strands of zucchini. You can make them with a spiralizer.

Spiralizers come in many shapes and forms and at a ton of different price points. I’ve had this spiralizer for about 4 years and it is still working great. It comes with a bunch of different blades so you can make different shapes and it spiyralizes pretty much anything you can stick in there!

Why use zucchini noodles for these egg nests?

You could use regular noodles if you wanted but in this case I think the zucchini noodles give a good flavor and texture to the end result.

The egg nests are also awesome for a nutrient packed breakfast that is low in carbs but high in protein. The zucchini noodles don’t add any extra carbs or sugar to the recipe and therefore the energy you get won’t drop off and leave you feeling hungry and tired in a short time.

What you need to make zucchini egg nests:

• 1 Cup of Zucchini noodles
• 1 Tbsp Olive oil
• 1 Tsp Garlic powder
• 2 Eggs
• Salt and pepper to taste

You can make your own spiralized zucchini or you can buy the zoodles already prepared. Many grocery stores make them and have them available in the fresh produce section!
