Acorn Squash Egg-In-A-Hole
brunch / whole 30 / paleo / dairy free / gluten free / grain free / meat free
Let’s use some winter squash for a meal we typically don’t see it in very often: breakfast! These acorn squash egg-in-a-holes are delicious, free of gluten, dairy, and grains, and only require 2 main ingredients!
Is there really anything better than a runny egg in the morning? I think not! Pair this with warm, roasted acorn squash, some seasonings, fresh herbs and red pepper and you have the easiest cold weather breakfast with minimal effort.
The first thing you’re going to do to make these acorn squash egg-in-a-holes are roast your acorn squash. You want it to start getting soft before you crack your egg into them. Once the acorn squash is almost cooked fully you’re going to lower your heat, add in the egg, and bake once more.
I can’t even believe this is my first time making acorn squash. I was hesitant because I love butternut squash and delicata squash so much, I didn’t want to rock the boat. Why mess with a good thing? Well I’m really glad I did. This squash is kind of like a mixture of the two. Its heartier than delicata in my opinion but still gets soft enough to eat the skin.
