Mild almond milk gives this egg dish a smooth, custardy texture. Opt for a high quality salsa, or prepare your own.
SERVES 6
INGREDIENTS
- 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon olive oil, divided
- 1 cup finely chopped red onion (1 small)
- 1 cup finely chopped red bell pepper (about 1)
- Scant 1/3 cup thinly sliced green onion, white parts only
- 2 teaspoons minced jalapeño
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic (1 large clove)
- 2 1/2 cups thinly sliced (unpeeled) zucchini (about 1 medium-large)
- 1 1/2 cups corn kernels (about 2 small ears)
- 1/2 teaspoon coarse kosher salt, divided
- 1/4 teaspoon ancho or chipotle chile powder
- 8 large eggs
- 3 tablespoons plain unsweetened almond milk
- 1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon salsa

INSTRUCTIONS
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F, and position a rack a few inches from the top.
- Brush the inside of a 10-inch nonstick skillet with half of the oil, and heat over medium high.
- When warm, add the red onion, bell pepper, green onion, jalapeño, and garlic, and sauté, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon, until the bell pepper is tender, about 4 minutes.
- Stir in the zucchini, and sauté until mostly tender, about 4 minutes.
- Add the remaining oil, plus the corn, half of the salt, and the chile powder. Sauté, stirring occasionally, until the zucchini is tender (but not overly soft), about another 2 minutes.
- With the spoon, evenly distribute the vegetables.
- Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, whisk the eggs with the almond milk and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt until smooth.
- Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables in the skillet, and reduce the heat to medium.
- Continue cooking until the eggs set on the sides, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Spoon the salsa in about 15 dollops all over the top.
- Carefully transfer the pan to the oven, and bake until the egg mixture is cooked through, about 15 minutes.
- Let cool for about 10 minutes, garnish with cilantro if using, slice, and serve.
