    You can make these in advance, keep them in the fridge, and reheat for a busy morning breakfast on the go.

    These are especially excellent with hot sauce, but my hubby (no can do spicy foods), loved these as is, and he kept commenting on how good they were.

      My eggs got big clear bubbles in them? Should I have poked them with a fork?

      What is the reason for the coconut flour or flaxseed? Can you use something else of leave it out?

        Hi Janet, I use the coconut flour to absorb the moisture from the zucchini, as it gets watery. I add flax for extra fiber. They can be left out, but you may need to drain and squeeze out the moisture from the grated zucchini. Also adding a little grated cheese to the grated zucchini may help it stick together as well.

          If you put the zucchini on a paper towel and sprinkle salt on it, let sit a few minutes then squeeze water out, you will get more water out and they will be less soggy)
