Recipe by GhöstPepper I have become a big fan of the healthy bitter melon and grow them in my garden. My only problem is that a lot of the really good recipes out there contain exotic ingredients that I don't normally have on hand. So I started creating

Ingredients

1 cup chopped bitter melon
1 tablespoon salt
1/4 cup butter
2 cups chopped zucchini
3/4 cup chopped bell pepper
3/4 cup chopped sweet onion
4 large cloves garlic, chopped
8 eggs, lightly beaten
3 tablespoons sour cream
3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon melted butter
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese

Instructions

Mix bitter melon and 1 tablespoon salt together in a bowl. Let stand until water is drawn out of bitter melon, about 20 minutes. Rinse melon; squeeze out excess moisture with your hands.
Heat butter in a 12-inch skillet over medium heat; cook and stir bitter melon, zucchini, bell pepper, sweet onion, and garlic in the skillet until tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Drain excess liquid; return vegetables to skillet.
Combine eggs, sour cream, Parmesan cheese, melted butter, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and ground black pepper together in a bowl; stir until combined. Pour egg mixture over vegetable mixture; cook and stir over medium heat until eggs are set but still very moist, 5 to 8 minutes. Top with Cheddar cheese; cover and turn off heat. Allow to rest until eggs have set and cheese is melted, 2 to 4 minutes.
