Ingredients

1 teaspoon olive oil
1/4 cup red onion (chopped)
1 cup zucchini (diced into matchsticks)
1 large egg
3/4 cup egg whites
2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese (grated or shredded)
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
fresh black pepper (to taste)

Instructions

Over medium-low heat, heat oil in a medium nonstick skillet.
Stir in onion and cook until golden, about 2 to 3 minutes.
Add zucchini and season with 1/8 teaspoon salt and black pepper, to taste and cook 3 to 4 more minutes stirring occasionally, until tender.
In a medium bowl, whisk egg, egg whites, Parmesan, 1/4 teaspoon salt and black pepper.
Add eggs to the skillet making sure eggs cover all the vegetables. Cover and cook until the eggs set, about 5 minutes.

If you're trying to avoid cheese with rennet, you can use Organic Valley Shredded Parmesan or BelGioioso Vegetarian Parmesan, as vegetarian options.
