Skillet Eggs With Summer Squash Hash Food

SQUASH AND BACON HASH WITH EGGS

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.

ZUCCHINI "HASH BROWNS" AND EGGS

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring, until soft and lightly browned, about 6 minutes. Add the sage, garlic and jalapenos and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the squash, vinegar, 3/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper and stir to combine. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until the squash begins to soften, 6 to 8 minutes. Uncover and add the red pepper and half of the parsley. Cook until the squash is completely soft and lightly brown, 6 to 8 minutes more. Remove from the heat.
• Make 8 small indentations in the squash with a measuring cup or the back of a ladle. Crack the eggs into the indentations and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Return the pan to medium heat, cover and cook until the egg whites are set and the yolks are still runny, about 4 minutes.
• Sprinkle with the remaining parsley and serve.

SKILLET HASH AND EGGS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Pierce the potatoes in a few places with a fork and microwave until almost tender, about 10 minutes, turning halfway through. Let cool slightly, then peel and cut into 1/2-inch dice.
• Heat the butter in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the kielbasa and cook, stirring, until it starts to brown, about 3 minutes. Add the onion and caraway seeds and cook until the onion is soft, about 3 minutes.
• Stir in the potatoes, then flatten the hash into an even layer, pressing gently with a spatula. Cook undisturbed until crunchy and browned on the bottom, about 5 minutes. Flip the hash in sections and cook until browned on the other side, about 5 more minutes. Remove from the heat.
• Using a spoon, make 4 shallow indentations in the hash and crack 2 eggs into each. Transfer to the oven and bake until the egg whites set, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and top with the parsley and scallions.

SKILLET SUMMER SQUASH

Steps:

• Cook and stir bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crisp, 8 to 10 minutes. Add onions and cook in the bacon drippings until softened, 3 to 5 minutes. Add squash, salt, and black pepper; stir to coat.
• Cover skillet and cook squash mixture over low heat until tender, about 25 minutes.

SKILLET EGGS WITH 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.

SUMMER SQUASH WITH EGGS

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.

• Stir kale into squash mixture, along with 1/4 cup cilantro mixture. Return to oven 7 minutes. Make 4 wells in vegetables and crack an egg into each. Season eggs with salt. Return to oven and bake until whites are set but yolks are still runny, 4 to 6 minutes. Serve, drizzled with more cilantro dressing.
