Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F and spray a 10 Inch Cast Iron skillet with cooking spray. Set aside.Step 2: Using the 6mm blade on your spiralizer, spiralize the zucchinis, so that they turn into long noodles.

Step 4: While the zucchini noodles sit, whisk together the eggs and egg whites in a large bowl. Add in the Greek yogurt and a pinch of pepper and additional salt. Whisk until smooth and creamy.
Step 5: Once the zucchini has sat, squeeze out as much excess water as you can. Then, transfer the zucchini noodles onto a paper towel and dry off, again, as much as you can.
Step 6: Stir the zucchini noodles, broccoli, kale, and 1 cup of the Cheddar cheese into the egg mixture and mix well.
Step 7: Pour the mixture into the prepared skillet and spread it out evenly. Sprinkle with remaining Cheddar cheese.
Step 8: Bake until the eggs feel set and begin to slightly pull away from the side of the skillet, about 40-45 minutes. Turn your oven to HIGH broil and broil an additional 2-3 minutes or until the top turns golden brown.
