Very tasty with just enough zip. I cut it back to 1 serving (2 eggs). I added some red pepper & mushrooms just to use them up. I didn't add the zucchini until 1 minute before serving to be sure they still had some crunch. Very nice Sunday Brunch.

This was very good - I did use less picante sauce than stated. Wonder if I might have used salsa? I'll probably try that next time. The bottle of picante sauce in my fridge is kind of like tabasco sauce and I'm a borderline wimp when it comes to the kind of heat measured in scoville units! PS I didn't have any zucchini even though it's August and I have a garden! Used more green pepper and garlic instead!
