Sunday Breakfast

Sundays tend to be a bit of a more relaxed day of the week for Rene and I. As the weekend ends and it's time to get things ready for the next week it's nice to start the day with a nice morning walk with Stitch and end enjoy a delicious breakfast. This morning we made a quick and easy vegetable and egg dish that I made some changes to that I found in my Food Network Magazine.

"Eggs in a Squash Nest"

Ingredients:
4 eggs
1 Zucchini Squash
1 Yellow Summer Squash
1/2 Large Onion (optional)
4 Cremini Mushroom (optional)
Thyme and Nutmeg

1. First use a grater to grade up the 2 squash and place in a bowl set aside, finley slice the onion and dice the mushrooms.2. Heat a pan that you can place in the oven and spray with Pam non-fat cooking spray

3. Add onions and allow to soften4. Add in the mushrooms and book approx 2-3 minutes

5. Add in the squash

6. Fold all ingredients together add thyme and nutmeg and allow to cook 5-7 minutes over a medium heat. (also turn on over to 350 degrees)

Once all of the vegetables are cooked place skillet into the over for about 5 minutes to help bake and remove excess moisture from the squash.

Remove skillet from the over and create small indentations and crack 4 eggs into the areas indented in the squash.

Place the skillet back into the oven from 5-9 minutes depending on how done you want the eggs.
And here's the finished product! Rene and I split this in half each having about a cup and a half of squash "nests" and 2 eggs each for around 200 calories and 11 grams of protein a great way to start the day!
