Best Squash Eggs Recipes

SKILLET EGGS WITH SQUASH

Steps:

• Grate the squash into a colander using the large holes of a box grater (or use a food processor fitted with the shredding attachment). Toss with 1 tablespoon salt, then let drain in the sink, 30 to 40 minutes. Squeeze the squash to remove as much liquid as possible.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Heat the olive oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Set aside 3 tablespoons scallion greens. Add the remaining scallions (white and green parts), the jalapeno, and salt to taste and cook until the scallions are soft, about 3 minutes. Add the shredded squash and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 7 minutes. Stir in the parsley, nutmeg, and pepper to taste. Cook until the mixture is slightly dry, about 1 more minute. Remove from the heat and let cool, 5 minutes.
• Spread the squash evenly in the skillet. Make six 2 1/2-inch-wide indentations in the mixture with the back of a spoon; put 1/2 teaspoon butter in each one. One at a time, crack each egg into a small bowl and pour into an indentation. Season with salt and pepper, and sprinkle with the cheese.
• Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake until the egg whites are set and the yolks are cooked to desired doneness, 10 to 12 minutes. Scatter the reserved scallion greens on top.

SKILLET EGGS WITH SUMMER SQUASH HASH

Steps:

• Shred the zucchini and yellow squash and place in large colander. Stir in salt; let stand in sink 30 minutes to drain. Rinse gently to remove excess salt; squeeze squash mixture to remove as much liquid as possible. Set aside.
• In 12-inch nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Cook onion in oil 2 minutes, stirring frequently. Stir in squash mixture. Cook 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are crisp-tender. Add tomato, ham, dill and lemon peel. Cook and stir 1 minute longer. Reduce heat to medium.
• Spread squash mixture evenly in skillet. Make 4 (2 1/2-inch-wide) indentations in mixture with back of spoon. Break eggs, one at a time, into custard cup or saucer; pour into indentations. Sprinkle eggs with pepper. Cover; cook 8 to 10 minutes or until whites and yolks are firm, not runny.

SQUASH HASH WITH KALE AND BAKED EGGS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons oil, lemon juice, and cilantro, then season with salt and pepper.
• Heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a large straight-sided ovenproof skillet (preferably cast iron) over medium-high. Add onion and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, 3 minutes.
• Add squash and carrots, season with salt and pepper, and transfer to oven. Roast, stirring once, until golden and tender, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Stir kale into squash mixture, along with 1/4 cup cilantro mixture. Return to oven 7 minutes. Make 4 wells in vegetables and crack an egg into each. Season eggs with salt. Return to oven and bake until whites are set but yolks are still runny, 4 to 6 minutes. Serve, drizzled with more cilantro dressing.

SUMMER SQUASH WITH EGGS

Steps:

• VERSION #1: Trim the ends off the squash and grate using a box grater or a food processor with the grating attachment. Combine with 1 tablespoon salt in a colander and let drain in the sink for 30 minutes. Squeeze as much liquid as possible from the grated squash. Add the squash to the skillet along with the tomatoes. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is tender and no longer releasing liquid, about 10 minutes. Proceed with recipe in Step #3.
• VERSION #2 (my change): Trim the ends off the squash. Dice the [unpeeled] summer squash into 1/2" cubes. Cut the zucchini and crookneck into 1" slices. In a skillet, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced summer squash to the pan and saute until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Next add the shallots, garlic, and paprika and cook, stirring, until just tender and fragrant. Reduce heat to medium-low then stir in the tomatoes. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is tender and no longer releasing liquid, about 8-10 minutes. If mixture starts to dry out too much, reduce heat. Proceed with recipe in Step #3.
• Remove skillet from heat and stir in 1/4 cup of the basil.
• Smooth the mixture evenly in the skillet and make four wells using the back of a spoon. Pour 1/2 teaspoon olive oil in each well. One at a time, crack an egg into a small bowl and pour into one of the wells. Sprinkle salt, pepper, and paprika over each egg. Arrange small bits of the chevre around and in between the eggs.
• Cover and cook over low-medium heat until egg whites are set and yolks are still soft, about 10 minutes. I checked the eggs after 5 minutes, then cooked them another 2 minutes for our preference.
• Garnish eggs with basil and serve with crusty bread. A simple green salad and lightly seasoned black beans made the meal complete. I threw together a quick arugula salad. You could also serve the squash and eggs over raw greens as a suggestion.

ZUCCHINI SQUASH AND EGGS

Steps:

• Chop zucchini, onion and garlic.
• Heat olive oil over medium heat, add onions. Cook until slightly browned or soft.
• Add zucchini, cook for about 4 minutes.
• Add garlic, stirring frequently until fragrant, about 3 more minutes.
• Add whisked eggs, stirring frequently until scrambled.

ROASTED SQUASH WITH CHERRY TOMATOES AND EGGS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees with racks in upper and lower thirds. Line 2 baking sheets with foil. Rub squashes all over with 1 tablespoon oil. Season with salt and thyme leaves, then place, cut-sides down, on a baking sheet. Add thyme sprigs. Place on upper rack; roast 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, toss tomatoes in remaining 1 tablespoon oil; season with salt. Spread on second sheet in a single layer. Place on lower rack; roast until tomatoes are beginning to collapse and squashes are tender, 20 to 25 minutes more.
• Remove tomatoes. Turn squashes cut-sides up and roast 5 minutes more. If hollowsin squashes are large enough, spoon a tomato or two into each. Spoon 1/2 teaspoon chile paste into each hollow, then crack an egg into each; season with salt. Bake until whites are set but still a bit wobbly and yolks are soft, 12 to 15 minutes. (Start checking for donenessat early end of range, removing squashes with cooked eggs as they're done.) Let stand 3 minutes, then serve, with more chile paste and roasted tomatoes, and seasoned with pepper.

KIMCHI AND SUMMER SQUASH BAKED EGGS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375F.
• In a large, oven-proof skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat. Add onions and squash and cook until golden and crisp-tender, 7 to 8 minutes. Add the kimchi and its juices and cook until the pan is almost dry and the kimchi is rusty in color, 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in kale leaves and toss until slightly wilted, about 1 minute.
• Make 4 divets in the kimchi mixture, crack an egg in each divet, season with salt and pepper, and bake in the oven until egg whites are cooked through and the yolks are still runny, 9 to 10 minutes. Top with cilantro and serve out of the pan.

• 3. Add to zucchini and salt and pepper to taste. Stir until the eggs are scrambled. 2 points per serving

PATTYPAN SQUASH WITH EGGS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°. Cut tops (stem ends) off squash and reserve. Scoop out and discard insides of squash, leaving a shell at least 1/4 inches thick.
• Brush squash and tops with about 1 tablespoons olive oil, set on a baking sheet, and bake until tender when pierced with a fork, 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat remaining 1 tablespoons olive oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add onion and 3/4 teaspoons salt.
• Cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is soft, 3 to 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 30 seconds.
• Add thyme and cook, stirring, until combined.
• Set squash tops aside. Divide onion mixture evenly among the squash. Crack 1 egg into each squash, lifting out any white that doesn't fit. Sprinkle eggs with remaining salt.
• Bake until eggs are set, 15 to 20 minutes. Serve immediately, with tops replaced or set to the side.
