Provence Eggs & Whipped Butternut Squash
Lori Martin, HeyGetARoom.net
Eggs cooked with onions, garlic, Parmesan cheese and Herbs de Provence over creamy whipped squash. Looks fancy, but it's super easy.
Ingredients
- 8 ounces Butternut Squash diced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Pumpkin Pie spice
- Salt and pepper
- 1 tablespoon fat free Greek yogurt
- Cooking spray
- 3/4 cup diced onion
- 1 teaspoon Herbs de Provence
- Large pinch Fennel seed
- ½ teaspoon minced garlic
- 4 eggs
- 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper
For the Whipped Butternut Squash
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
Empty squash onto a cookie sheet.
Drizzle olive oil all over the squash.
Sprinkle pumpkin pie spice over the squash.
Place in oven until squash is fork-tender, approximately 30-40 minutes.
Scrape the hot squash into the bowl of a food processor.
Add the yogurt.
Process until light and whipped.
Add more yogurt, if needed. Squash texture should be smooth and like mashed potatoes.
Adjust seasoning, if necessary.
For the Provence Eggs
In a skillet over medium heat, coated with non-stick cooking spray, begin sautéing diced onions.
Add Herbs de Provence, fennel seed and salt & pepper.
When onions are tender, add garlic and saute' for about one more minute.
Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese over the onions.
Crack eggs over the cooked onions. Add salt & pepper to the eggs.
Cover the skillet with a lid.
Eggs are done when the whites are firm and completely cooked, but the yolks are still soft and just covered over with a white glaze.
Hints
Buy the squash and onions already diced.
If you are short on time, place the squash on a microwave-safe plate, add spice and seasoning, cover and microwave for 8-10 minutes, until fork-tender.
Use a glass lid for the eggs so you can easily watch the eggs for doneness.
