Butternut squash is one of my all-time favorite ingredients. It has a beautiful orange color, is very filling, is great for heart health, and perhaps best of all, it’s great for healthy skin and eyes. An ingredient that’s beautiful and makes you beautiful? Yes, please!
Ingredients
2 servings
Step 1
In the Instant Pot, combine the butternut squash, a pinch each of salt and pepper, and the olive oil. Set to “sauté, medium heat” and cook until lightly browned, about 5 minutes, stirring often to avoid burning. Add the onion and bell pepper and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the paprika, chili powder, rosemary, and garlic and toss to combine. Hit “cancel.”
Step 2
Make 2 wells in the hash and crack the eggs into the wells. Cover, choose the “egg” setting, and cook for 1 minute. Quick-release the pressure and serve.

Back to TopJust as easily made on a stovetop. My modifications: I used more squash (probably closer to a cup, note that 1/2 cup is not a lot), half an onion, a roasted red pepper from a jar instead of a fresh one, double the rosemary and I eliminated the paprika and chili powder. I sauteed the squash for closer to 10 minutes. When I was ready to serve, I placed the serving of hash in an oven-safe dish, made a well for the egg and put the dish under a low broiler for 5 minutes to set the white but leave the yolk runny. I don't typically like hashes but I can't wait to make this one again!

Made this in a frying pan. Used frozen squash....might not have been the best solution as it was a bit watery and ended up a bit mushy. Next time I will use fresh and will do it in reverse order...onions, peppers, garlic then squash. The onion etc didn't quite cook through and didn't release all their flavour by following the IP method. I will make it again though, made for a different type of breakfast.

This was patently not tested on an actual Instant Pot. Many competitors have non-stick surfaces, and it might work well on those, but to pressure cook the Instant Pot needs fluid. If you make this exact same recipe as outlined in an IP you will get a BURN. However, if you ad just two tablespoons of water it will turn out pretty good. I would up the spicing a tad but otherwise a simple and tasty Tuesday dinner with limited clean up. (And, yes, IP does not have an EGG setting. You just select 1 minute. Finally, with the water, it will come out easy, no fuss.)

I made this dish in a regular pan on the stove and it works out great. I covered the pan and it made enough steam to poach the egg. My instapot didn't have an egg setting. How do you get the hash out of the pot without mangling the eggs?
