½ cup sliced onion
½ cup sliced red bell pepper
½ cup sliced zucchini, or other veggies
2 small plum tomatoes, diced
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
pinch freshly ground black pepper
½ cup liquid egg substitute

¼ cup fat-free evaporated milk
¾ ounce shredded reduced-fat monterey jack cheese
coat an ovenproof 10” skillet with cooking spray and place over medium-low heat until hot.

melt the spread in the skillet. add the onion, bell pepper, and zucchini and saute over medium-low heat until the vegetables are lightly browned, 2-3 minutes. add the tomatoes, basil, and black pepper to the skillet and stir to combine.

cook until the flavors are blended, 2-3 minutes, and remove from the heat. preheat the broiler. in a blender, combine the egg substitute, cottage cheese, and milk and process until smooth.

pour the egg mixture over the vegetables. cover and cook on medium-low heat until the bottom is set and the top is still slightly wet. transfer the skillet to the broiler and broil until the top is set, 2-3 minutes.

sprinkle with the cheese and broil until the cheese melts. serves 2 = ABOUT 230 calories, depending on what’s in your refrigerator.
