Zoodle Noodle Egg Bowl

Turn Your Dinner Eggs Around and Around!

We love this healthy zoodle noodle egg bowl. Cut immediately into your poached eggs upon serving to let the yolk serve as a savory, rich sauce for your noodles.

Pro tip: swap spaghetti noodles for spaghetti squash for a low carb alternative.

Thank you Incredible Egg for the recipe!
