Makes 2 servings


Phase One-South Beach diet

Ingredients
2 teaspoons margarine
1/2 cup sliced onion
1/2 cup sliced red bell pepper
1/2 cup sliced zucchini
2 small plum tomatoes, diced
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup Egg Beaters
1/2 cup 1% cottage cheese
1/4 cup fat-free evaporated milk
3/4 ounce shredded reduced-fat Monterey Jack cheese
Directions
  1. 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.

  2. 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.
