Summer Squash with Baked eggs

This dish comes from food network.
This was ok for us but it did not knock our socks off. I guess our taste buds crave a little more excitement but it was a good way to use up some summer squash. This also made a lot so for those out there feeding more than two it is a good side dish.

2 lbs summer squash we used yellow and zucchini.
1 Tablespoon kosher salt
2 Tablespoons olive oil _ another 2 Tablespoons
2 shallots (we used yellow onion)
2 cloves garlic minced
1/4 teaspoon paprika + more for sprinkling
1/2 lb tomatoes chopped
4 oz goat cheese (chevre)
1/4 cup basil sliced and extra for garnish
4 eggs
black pepper
Cut off ends of squash and using a grater or food processor grate the squash. Combine 1 Tablespoon salt and let drain in a colander in sink for about 30 minutes
Preheat oven to 375
In an oven proof skillet heat 2 Tablespoons of olive oil. Add onions garlic and paprika and cook till tender and fragrant.
Squeeze as much of the liquid out from the squash, add to the skillet along with the tomatoes.
Cook until the mixture is tender and no longer releasing liquid, about 10 minutes.
Remove skillet from heat and stir in goat cheese and basil.
Smooth the mixture in skillet and make 4 wells with the back of a spoon and crack an egg in each one.
Sprinkle salt and pepper and paprika over eggs. Bake until egg whites and yolks are set about 10 minutes Garnish with basil and crusty bread.

By the way I have been having trouble loading my pictures. After 3 days of this I went back to my old template wish they would quit trying to improve something that works for me already. Now I have the dang spaces I can't get rid of with out going in to the html.

I'm back

Wow can not believe its been this long with out posting. Baby is finally back and she can get my pictures set up to post.

I have to admit we have not been cooking any thing much new but some of our older stuff as it was good the first time and we felt like revisiting it.

I have been working on poaching eggs and this is our Will McMuffin for breakfast.

Poach egg, slice of Canadian bacon and some cheese.

Wife added a new button so now the recipes can be printed.

Poached eggs

I guess most foodies have watched the Julie and Julia movie. We loved it.We happened to catch a show with Julia Child poaching eggs. I don't know what happened to me but I have become obsessed with a poached egg. This is something I have not done before so I tried several ways. Shallow pan, vinegar, in a ring (don't use a mason jar top the little grooves keeps the egg from coming out looking pretty.) So after several weekends I think I can do a pretty good poached egg. So go out there and give it a try. Here are some I did over the weekend.

Fried egg

Yes there is a fried egg under this, we had some left over sauce from our previous post and used it on the eggs with a few more shrimp added. We also read about the health benefits of honey and cinnamon and have been adding it now to our coffee and this is some on a banana

2 tablespoons of honey to one teaspoon cinnamon

This is supposed to help with cholesterol and a whole host of other ailments.

Using this has cut out the sugar wife adds to her coffee. Also can use in tea.

I would like to thank Deanna of Deannas Corner for the reminder of this dish I had a good bit growing up as a child and have not fixed in very long time, the bird in a nest. Her site has how to fix this so please visit.
