Categories     Breakfast

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 large spaghetti squash (cut in half lengthwise and seeds removed)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion (finely minced)
4 cloves garlic
3 anchovies
2 tablespoons tomato paste
28 ounce can crushed tomatoes
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
2 teaspoons honey (omit for Whole30)
½ teaspoon chili flakes
Sea salt (to taste)
6 large eggs
Optional for serving: feta cheese, chopped parsley, buttered toast

Steps:

  • Turn on your oven to 400 degrees. Place the spaghetti squash halves face-down on a baking sheet and pop them into your oven. No need to preheat your oven. Bake for 30 minutes then remove the squash from your oven. Turn the oven temperature down to 350 degrees. When they have cooled slightly, use a fork to remove the squash in spaghetti-like strings. Work from side to side to do this - not top to bottom.
  • While the spaghetti squash is roasting, prepare the tomato sauce. Heat the oil in a large, ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and let it cook until it golden and starting to caramelize, about 10 minutes. Add the garlic and (if using) the anchovies and cook for 1 minute. Add the tomato paste to the pan and cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
  • Add the crushed tomatoes to the pan and scrape off any brown bits on the bottom of the pan. Add the balsamic vinegar, honey (if using), and chili flakes and let the sauce cook for at 10 minutes. Generously season to taste with sea salt. Turn the element to low if the spaghetti squash is not yet ready.
  • Stir the spaghetti squash into the tomato sauce, reserving a handful to scatter on top. Make 6 wells in the sauce, being careful not to let the bottom of the pan show in any of the wells. Crack an egg into each well then scatter the reserved spaghetti squash around the pan.
  • Put the pan into your oven and let it cook for 5 minutes. If the whites have not set, leave them in for another minute. Watch them closely as it is very easy to overcook them. It is better to have soft set egg whites to mix into the sauce rather than over cooked yolks.

SUNNY'S PERFECT SCRAMBLED CHEESY EGGS



Sunny's Perfect Scrambled Cheesy Eggs image

Provided by Sunny Anderson

Time 17m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

3 tablespoons butter
12 eggs
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
3/4 cup shredded Cheddar-Monterey Jack cheese blend

Steps:

  • In a large nonstick pan with sloped sides (even a wok shape works), melt the butter over medium-low heat, being careful to not brown the butter. If it begins to bubble, the heat is too high, so lower the heat to cook the eggs properly. (Slow and low like BBQ is the way to go with eggs.)
  • Meanwhile, in a large bowl, add the eggs and 1 teaspoon cold water. Vigorously whisk until frothy and smooth. Swirl the pan around to coat the butter on the bottom and up the sides. Pour the eggs into the pan and let sit for a few seconds. When the eggs begin to lightly set on the bottom, use the whisk to gently beat the eggs, then allow them to sit for just a few seconds between beating them again. Curds will begin to form and increase throughout the cooking time. Repeat this process of whisking then resting the eggs for a few seconds until about 50 percent of the eggs are set and the rest are still wet. At this point, sprinkle the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper and continue to whisk and rest alternately. Once the eggs are 75 percent done, add the cheese and from this moment, continue to whisk the eggs until done. This entire process from pouring in the eggs to them being finished should take 8 to 12 minutes; this isn't a race, only a journey to the best scrambled eggs ever. Remove from the heat and continue to scramble in the last seconds. Serve warm.

SKILLET EGGS WITH SQUASH



Skillet Eggs With Squash image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 1h10m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 pounds (6 medium) summer squash and/or zucchini
Kosher salt
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 scallions, thinly sliced, white and green parts separated
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced
3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
Freshly ground pepper
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
6 large eggs
1/2 cup grated pepper jack or sharp white cheddar cheese

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.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe spaghetti squash: Look for spaghetti squash that is firm and has a deep yellow color. Avoid squash that is bruised or has soft spots.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut the squash: A sharp knife will help you to easily cut through the squash without squashing it.
  • Cook the squash until it is tender: The squash should be cooked until it is tender enough to easily scrape into spaghetti-like strands.
  • Don't overcook the eggs: The eggs should be cooked until they are just set, but not overcooked and rubbery.
  • Add your favorite toppings: You can add your favorite toppings to the cheesy scrambled egg and spaghetti squash, such as salsa, avocado, or chopped vegetables.

Conclusion:

Cheesy scrambled egg and spaghetti squash is a delicious and healthy brunch or lunch option. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With its combination of protein, vegetables, and healthy fats, this dish is sure to keep you feeling full and satisfied.
