Toast with Squash, Prosciutto and Egg
  • Winter Squash
  • Vegetables
Serves:   4
(serving size: 1 slice)

  • Prep Time:   20 minutes
  • Cook Time:   1 hour
  • Total Time:   1 hour 20 minutes

Ingredients

1 1/2 pound acorn or butternut squash, halved and seeds removed

1/2 tablespoon fresh thyme
2 pinches dried oregano
4 to 8 pinches chili flakes (adjust the amount based on your spiciness preferences)
1 clove garlic
Olive oil
Salt
4 long, thin slices of prosciutto
4 thick slices of toast
4 eggs

Directions

Heat your oven to 450F. Mince together the thyme and the garlic clove.

Rub the cut sides of the squash with olive oil, the garlic and thyme, oregano, chili flakes, and several pinches of salt.

Put the squash halves in a baking dish cut sides up and cover tightly with foil. Roast in the oven until the squash is tender enough to be easily pierced by a knife in the thickest part. Flip the cut sides down, remove the foil, and roast about 10 more minutes until the cut sides are caramelized. Remove from the oven and allow to cool enough to handle.

Heat a medium frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the prosciutto slices and cook just long enough to warm and slightly brown them, and then transfer them to a plate.

Add a tablespoon of olive oil to the pan, swirl to coat then crack in the eggs and sprinkle them with salt.

Cook the eggs to your liking-sunny side up or over easy.

To assemble the toasts smash a big scoop of squash on each piece of toast then top with a slice of prosciutto and a fried egg.
