8 eggs
2 medium zucchini, trimmed and grated

Reduce heat to medium low and cook, uncovered, until edges are set and center is runny. Place under broiler briefly, just to set (1 to 2 minutes). Set aside to cool in pan 5 minutes. Slide onto a platter to serve. Cut into wedges and serve warm or at room temperature.
