Ingredients
Method
Brush four 1-cup (250 mL) ramekins with butter; set aside.Wrap zucchini in clean tea towel; twist and squeeze to release excess liquid. Transfer to bowl. Stir in green onions and basil; set aside.
In separate bowl, beat together eggs, whipping cream, flour, maple syrup, salt, hot pepper sauce and nutmeg.
Divide goat cheese evenly among ramekins; top each with one-quarter of the zucchini mixture and one-quarter of the egg mixture. Top each with 6 cherry tomato halves.
Arrange ramekins on baking sheet; bake in 325ºF (160ºC) oven until puffed and eggs are set, 18 to 20 minutes. Broil until tops are bubbly and golden, 1 to 2 minutes.
