Step-By-Step Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray. Slice zucchini in half lengthwise, scoop the seeds out to make a boat, and place on the prepared baking sheet. Roast the zucchini 25 minutes.
- While the zucchini is roasting, add cooking spray to a medium nonstick sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms, onion, and sausage to the pan and sauté 7 minutes, or until mushrooms and onion are tender.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, water, hot sauce, salt, and pepper. Pour the egg mixture over the sautéed veggies and sausage, gently stirring over medium-low heat until eggs and vegetable mixture are thoroughly combined, about 4 minutes.
- Remove the zucchini from the oven and top each zucchini half with a scant cup of the egg mixture.
