Ingredients

  • slices turkey bacon
  • teaspoons margarine spread (like Smart Balance)
  • 1/2 cup sliced onion
  • 1/2 cup sliced red bell pepper
  • 1/2 cup sliced zucchini
  • 2 plum tomato, diced
  • tablespoon fresh basil, chopped
  • pinch ground black pepper
  • 1/2 cup liquid egg substitute
  • 1/2 cup 1% cottage cheese
  • 1/4 cup 1% low-fat milk
  • ounce lowfat mozzarella cheese
  • Directions

    1. 1
      Cook turkey bacon per directions on package until crisp. Set aside. Crumble when cool.
    2. 2
      Coat an ovenproof 10" skillet with cooking spray. Melt the spread in the skillet. Add the onion, bell pepper, and zucchini, and saute over medium-low heat until the vegetables are tender, 2 - 3 minutes.
    3. 3
      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.
    4. 4
      Preheat the broiler.
    5. 5
      In a blender, combine the egg substitute, cottage cheese, and milk and process until smooth.
    6. 6
      Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables and return to the heat source. Sprinkle the crumbled turkey bacon over the top. Cover and cook on medium-low heat until the bottom is set and the top is still slightly wet.
    7. 7
      Transfer the skillet to the broiler and broil until the top is set - 2-3 minutes.
    8. 8
      Sprinkle with the cheese and broil until the cheese melts.
    9. 9
      Serve while hot.
