SQUASH, EGG, AND CHEESE CASSEROLE
A friend cooked us a similar dish and I was never able to get the original recipe. After a few years of trying, we've come up with this version and we like it even better than the first! A great way to get non-veggie lovers to indulge!

Steps:
- Cook the bacon in a 10-inch cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until browned and crisp, 4 to 7 minutes. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate with a slotted spoon, reserving the drippings in the skillet. Add the potatoes to the skillet and season with 3/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and tender, 8 to 12 minutes. Add the onion, season with salt and continue cooking until the onion is lightly browned and the potatoes are cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes.
- Add the squash and bacon to the skillet; reduce the heat to low (or move the skillet to a cooler part of the campfire). Use the back of a spoon to make 4 shallow wells in the potato mixture; carefully crack 1 egg into each well. Scatter the tomatoes around the eggs, cover the skillet and cook until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still runny, 6 to 12 minutes.
- Season the eggs with salt and pepper; sprinkle with parsley before serving.
SUMMER SQUASH WITH EGGS
From apartmenttherapy.com as adapted from Food Network. Two versions for prepping the squash are given. Halfway through preparing this recipe I discovered I didn't have enough chevre, and substituted with some locally made cream cheese. Best if the cream cheese is at room temperature or it can be whipped.

Steps:
- VERSION #1: Trim the ends off the squash and grate using a box grater or a food processor with the grating attachment. Combine with 1 tablespoon salt in a colander and let drain in the sink for 30 minutes. Squeeze as much liquid as possible from the grated squash. Add the squash to the skillet along with the tomatoes. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is tender and no longer releasing liquid, about 10 minutes. Proceed with recipe in Step #3.
- VERSION #2 (my change): Trim the ends off the squash. Dice the [unpeeled] summer squash into 1/2" cubes. Cut the zucchini and crookneck into 1" slices. In a skillet, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced summer squash to the pan and saute until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Next add the shallots, garlic, and paprika and cook, stirring, until just tender and fragrant. Reduce heat to medium-low then stir in the tomatoes. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is tender and no longer releasing liquid, about 8-10 minutes. If mixture starts to dry out too much, reduce heat. Proceed with recipe in Step #3.
- Remove skillet from heat and stir in 1/4 cup of the basil.
- Smooth the mixture evenly in the skillet and make four wells using the back of a spoon. Pour 1/2 teaspoon olive oil in each well. One at a time, crack an egg into a small bowl and pour into one of the wells. Sprinkle salt, pepper, and paprika over each egg. Arrange small bits of the chevre around and in between the eggs.
- Cover and cook over low-medium heat until egg whites are set and yolks are still soft, about 10 minutes. I checked the eggs after 5 minutes, then cooked them another 2 minutes for our preference.
- Garnish eggs with basil and serve with crusty bread. A simple green salad and lightly seasoned black beans made the meal complete. I threw together a quick arugula salad. You could also serve the squash and eggs over raw greens as a suggestion.

SKILLET SUMMER SQUASH
The good old-fashioned country way. This is definitely NOT diet food. You don't drain the bacon fat off after you brown it. If you really have to, you can substitute butter, but it won't be the same. You can also use this recipe with a combination of yellow and pattypan squash.

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:
- Use fresh, seasonal vegetables. Summer squash is at its peak flavor during the summer months, so it's the perfect time to use it in this recipe. You can also use other fresh vegetables, such as zucchini, bell peppers, or tomatoes.
- Don't overcrowd the skillet. When you're cooking the vegetables, make sure to give them plenty of space so that they can brown properly. If you overcrowd the skillet, the vegetables will steam instead of brown.
- Season the vegetables well. Salt and pepper are essential seasonings for any vegetable dish, but you can also add other herbs and spices to taste.
- Cook the eggs until they're done to your liking. Some people like their eggs runny, while others prefer them cooked through. Cook the eggs for the amount of time that you like.
- Serve immediately. This dish is best served immediately after it's cooked. The eggs will start to cool and harden as they sit, so it's best to eat them while they're still warm.
Conclusion:
This skillet eggs with summer squash hash is a quick, easy, and delicious meal that's perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It's packed with fresh vegetables and protein, and it's sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a healthy and satisfying meal, give this recipe a try.
