Butternut Squash Hash with Poached Eggs - The Foodie Affair

Butternut squash is probably one of my favorite veggies to eat during the winter months, and it’s super convenient to cook too, especially since several stores now provide it seeded and cut up! It seems a bit indulgent and somewhat lazy to buy squash diced, but until I get a sous-chef to do some of the prep work, there will be times that I will take advantage of the benefit of having it chopped in advance!

This recipe is the basis for a tasty, sweet, and nutty Butternut Squash Hash. Simple ingredients intensifies the natural flavors by sautéing the squash in some olive oil. I completed this meal by following Alton Brown’s direction on how to make perfect poached egg, which ends up being like a sauce over the vegetables once the yolk is broken!

Toast up some English muffins and you have a delicious and satisfying meal!

  1. This Butternut squash hash is a great side dish for many meals. I enjoying using butternut squash for making healthy and heartier dishes.

  2. I adore hash, and I have yet to try it with butternut – great idea! Topping with a poached or overeasy egg to use that yolk as a sauce is always amazing.
