It’s like I crave them. I literally have been filling my shopping cart up and buying obscene amounts of vegetables; roasting, grilling and consuming them any way I can. Vegetables are in their prime and I love them.

When I first tested this recipe out I tried to put them in cute little crocks and baked the eggs in the oven. I wished it worked, but the eggs came out over cooked on top and under-cooked everywhere else. Seriously I was SO bummed out!! But round two was not only a thousand times easier, used up fewer dishes (bonus!) but the eggs turned out perfect.

This breakfast skillet hash is my newest and latest favorite breakfast. I had a jar left of my homemade enchilada sauce {but you could SO go the marinara route} which gave this dish some kick. It’s simple, fresh and slap a fried egg on top and that drippy egg yolk… ohmegoodness.

Heat a large 12 inch skillet over medium heat, add a tablespoon of olive oil and once hot, throw in the diced shallots.

Cook for 2-3 minutes until they are soft and smelling divine, then throw in the quartered zucchini and squash.

Season with a pinch of kosher salt and black pepper, spread the veg out in an even layer and allow them to cook for 3-4 minutes undisturbed.

Stir and continue to cook until fork tender.

Remove them to a plate and set them off to the side for a moment.

While the squash and zucchini cook I quickly cut up a small head of cauliflower. I remove most of the bulky stem so it’s just the cute little tops.

Add another tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet and add in the cauli.

Then the final touch… a purty fried egg on top. I then grated fresh Manchego cheese over it all. You could totally skip the cheese t0 keep this meal paleo.

This beauty of a dish literally smells amazing! The hash alone would make a great side dish to fish, chicken or steak even. I ate the remaining hash out of the pan with a fork… that’s the kind of gal I am.

But don’t be fooled… I at this plate of food too. And like I’ve said 2.7 million times… I’m a complete sucker for a fried egg with a runny yolk.
