Ingredients

  • 1/2 large butternut squash cut hamburger style, the side with the seeds
  • 1/2 tablespoon avocado oil
  • 4 large eggs
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste

Instructions

  • First, preheat oven to 375ºF.Begin by prepping your butternut squash “bread” by peeling and slicing butternut squash in half hamburger-style. You should be working with the half of the butternut squash that has the seeds, so set the other half aside.
  • Cut the half of butternut squash in half again, this time opening it up so you can seed it. Remove seeds.
  • Then, form your butternut squash “bread” by slicing. You will need 4 pieces. The rest you can dice up and add to your other butternut squash recipes for the week.
  • Place butternut squash “bread” on a baking sheet and rub with avocado oil. Then, season with salt and pepper.
  • Bake at 375ºF for 15 minutes.
  • Remove from oven and flip.
  • Then, crack an egg into each hole.
  • Bake for another 10-15 minutes or until eggs have reached desired texture.

Tips & Notes

  • If your butternut squash does not have a very large hole once you’ve sliced it, you can use a knife to cut the hole open bigger.
  • Be careful not to overcook your eggs.
