Ingredients

The following ingredients have 6 Servings
  • 2 acorn squash
  • 6 whole eggs
  • 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 5-6 pitted dates
  • 8 walnut halves
  • Fresh parsley to garnish

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 375F
  • Slice squashes crosswise in order to get at least 3 slices with complete holes per squash*. Your good slices should be about 3/4" inch thick.
  • Remove the seeds and place the slices on a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper and bake in the oven for 20 minutes.
  • While the squash is in the oven, place walnuts and dates on a cutting board and chop them simultaneously until their texture resembles that of coarse sand.
  • Take the squash out of the oven and drizzle each slice with a little bit of olive oil.
  • Crack an egg directly in the center of each slice, sprinkle eggs with a little bit of salt and pepper and sprinkle date/walnut crumble over the entire surface of the squash slices and eggs
  • Return to the oven for 8-10 minutes or until the eggs are done to your liking
  • Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.
  • Drizzle with maple syrup if desired.
