Squash And Bacon Hash With Eggs Food

SKILLET EGGS WITH SUMMER SQUASH HASH

Steps:

• Shred the zucchini and yellow squash and place in large colander. Stir in salt; let stand in sink 30 minutes to drain. Rinse gently to remove excess salt; squeeze squash mixture to remove as much liquid as possible. Set aside.
• In 12-inch nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Cook onion in oil 2 minutes, stirring frequently. Stir in squash mixture. Cook 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are crisp-tender. Add tomato, ham, dill and lemon peel. Cook and stir 1 minute longer. Reduce heat to medium.
• Spread squash mixture evenly in skillet. Make 4 (2 1/2-inch-wide) indentations in mixture with back of spoon. Break eggs, one at a time, into custard cup or saucer; pour into indentations. Sprinkle eggs with pepper. Cover; cook 8 to 10 minutes or until whites and yolks are firm, not runny.

SAVORY SUMMER SQUASH WITH BACON

Steps:

• Place 2 paper towels on a microwave-safe plate; add bacon and top with another paper towel. Cook in microwave on high until some grease is absorbed, about 30 seconds.
• Transfer bacon to a deep skillet and cook over medium-high heat, stirring often, until crisp, 5 to 10 minutes. Lower heat to medium; stir garlic into bacon and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add onion; cook and stir until onion is slightly translucent and still firm, about 5 minutes.
• Mix squash into onion-bacon mixture; cook and stir until squash is slightly softened, about 5 minutes. Add artichoke hearts; cook until heated through, 2 to 3 minutes. Add capers and rosemary; cover skillet and cook, stirring often, until squash is softened but firm to the bite, about 5 more minutes. Season with salt and white pepper.
