Ingredients

  • 1 large acorn squash
  • olive oil
  • sea salt
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 slices bacon cooked and crumbled
  • Sriracha or hot sauce to taste for serving

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Chop the tip and tail off of the acorn squash. Cut the acorn squash into four 1/2" to 3/4"-thick rounds. Scoop the seeds and innards out of each round and discard. Lightly coat both sides of each round with olive oil and place on a lightly-oiled (or sprayed) baking sheet. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and bake for 15 minutes, or until tender when poked with a fork.
  • Remove squash from oven and lower the oven temperature to 350 degrees F.
  • Crack one egg into a measuring cup that has a lip. Pour the egg into one of the squash rounds. Repeat with the remaining 3 eggs (Note: If you think you can carefully crack the eggs into the acorn squash, you can skip using the measuring cup, although I find it's easiest to use a measuring cup).
  • Place in the oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until egg whites have set up.
  • Serve with cooked crumbled bacon, sriracha (or hot sauce of choice), and any additional toppings you desire.
