ACORN SQUASH SCRAMBLE

  • Serves 1

  • 2 eggs

Instructions
 

  • To cook an acorn squash (can be done the night before): Preheat the oven to 400°. Prepare a baking sheet by covering it with foil or parchment paper. Cut the squash in half and scoop out the seeds. Drizzle with olive oil, salt and pepper. Place cut side down on the baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the skin gives a little when you poke it from the top.
  • 1. Scramble eggs lightly adding spinach and sharp cheddar cheese in the last 3 minutes of cooking.
  • 2. Cover the pan with eggs to let the steam melt the cheese and wilt the spinach.
  • 3. Scoop egg mixture into the squash, using the squash as a bowl.
  • 4. Sprinkle a little more sharp cheddar over the top and enjoy!
