Coat a cast iron 10" skillet (or another oven-proof skillet) with olive oil and heat over medium-low heat until hot.
Sauté the onion, red pepper and zucchini until the vegetables are lightly browned (2-3 minutes).
Add the tomatoes, basil and pepper and stir to combine.
Cook for 2-3 minutes and remove from the heat.
Preheat the broiler.
Combine Egg Beaters, cottage cheese and milk in a blender; blend until smooth.
Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables.
