Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup diced butternut squash * see note
  • 2 cups hash browns * see note
  • ½ cup yellow or red pepper diced
  • ¼ cup green onion
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • ¼ cup shredded Mexican cheese blend
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Preheat a 12-inch cast iron skillet with 1 tablespoon olive oil on medium heat.
  • Add the cubed butternut squash and cook for 5 minutes.
  • Add green onions and hash browns.
  • Add last tablespoon of olive oil to pan.
  • Stir vegetables as they cook. Cook for 8 minutes until vegetables are soft.
  • Preheat broiler.
  • Crack eggs and put on top of the vegetables.
  • Put skillet into the oven and broil for 5 minutes.
  • Remove and add cheese.
  • Put back in the oven and broil for another 4-5 minutes.
  • Serve warm.

Notes

  1. Make sure to cut your pieces of butternut squash into small bite-sized chunks so they cook thoroughly.
  2. To make dairy-free, use a dairy-free cheese or omit the cheese altogether.
  3. You can cut your butternut squash in small cubes as I did, or grate the butternut to make it more hash-like. If you grate the butternut squash, note it will take a lot less time to cook than if you cut it into cubes.
  4. There are a few gluten free hash browns, I like Alexia, Trader Joe's, and Ore-Ida (Ore-Ida is labeling their potatoes that are gluten free now.)
  5. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge. They will last for up to 4 days.

SPECIAL NOTE

Please know that every gluten free flour blend has a different starch to grain ratio. If you use a blend I didn't test, you may need to adjust your moisture levels in your baked goods.
