Step-By-Step Instructions:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Remove the zucchini from the oven and
    top each zucchini half with a scant cup of
    the egg mixture.
