Ingredients

• 1 large zucchini (or 2 medium-size), thinly sliced
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 whole eggs
• 4 egg whites
• 1/4 cup packed cilantro leaves
• 2 tablespoons goat cheese
• 2 tablespoons whole wheat flour

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F.
2. Coat four 1/2 – cup ramekins or oven-safe coffee mugs with ghee or coconut oil.
3. Heat a small skillet over medium-high heat.
4. Coat with ghee or coconut oil, add the zucchini and reduce to medium heat.
5. Cook 3 to 4 minutes, until the zucchini starts to brown. Set the skillet aside to cool slightly.
6. In a large bowl, combine the whole eggs, egg whites, cilantro, goat cheese, flour, baking powder, salt, and zucchini, and mix until well combined.
7. Divide the egg mixture among the 4 ramekins, and bake 12 to 14 minutes, until the soufflés are puffed and no longer runny in the center.
8. Divide the watercress among 4 plates. Drizzle with the olive oil. Serve immediately with the soufflés.
