A hearty, flavorful hash made with caramelized butternut squash, onions, herbs, and optional eggs ideal for breakfast, brunch, or as a savory side dish.

Ingredients

4 cups butternut squash, cubed

2 tablespoons olive oil or ghee

1 medium onion (yellow or red), diced

12 cups optional vegetables (e.g., sweet potato, celery, bell pepper)

12 tablespoons fresh herbs (sage, rosemary, parsley) or 1 teaspoon dried herbs

Salt and black pepper, to taste

4 eggs (optional, for serving)

Instructions

  1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add olive oil or ghee.
  2. Add cubed butternut squash and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender and lightly caramelized (10–15 minutes).
  3. Stir in diced onion and any additional vegetables; cook until softened, about 5 minutes more.
  4. Season with salt, pepper, and herbs to taste.
  5. If adding eggs, make small wells in the hash, crack in the eggs, cover, and cook until whites are set but yolks remain soft.
  6. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired. Serve hot.

Notes

For extra flavor, roast squash in the oven at 400°F (200°C) before adding to the skillet.

Add apples or sweet potatoes for a sweet-savory combination.

Stir in kale or spinach near the end of cooking for added greens.

Customize with sausage, or beans for more protein.

Works well as a side dish or as a main meal with eggs.
