I love breakfast foods. I have probably said this before, but I could eat breakfast all day. Especially if it involves bacon. Bacon is awesome. Bacon can be enjoyed at any meal–breakfast, lunch, dinner, even dessert! Ever had a Bacon-maple cupcake? So delish.
Sorry, I’m getting off track. I was thinking about bacon. Bacon can be very distracting.
- 4 slices of bacon
- 3 cups spaghetti squash
- 1 small green pepper diced
- 1/2 small yellow onion diced
- 4 oz ground pork sausage
- 6 eggs
-
To cook spaghetti squash--preheat an oven to 425 degrees. Cut the spaghetti squash in half, scoop the strings and seeds out, and place cut-side down on a baking sheet. Bake in the oven for 30-40 minutes, until the outside is slightly golden and the insides come out easily with a fork.
-
Lower the oven to 350 degrees.
-
When it is cool enough to handle, remove the threads with a fork and place on paper towels to drain. Try to squeeze as much of the excess water out as possible.
-
Cook the sausage in the pan, breaking it up, until there is no pink left. Remove and set aside.
-
Cut the bacon into small slices. In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook the bacon until it is done. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon, keeping the grease in the pan.
-
Add the onion and green pepper into the skillet, and stir until the onion is translucent.
-
Add the spaghetti squash threads to the skillet, and press down in a flat layer. Sprinkle the top with salt and pepper. Cook for about 10 minutes, or until the bottom is lightly browned. Flip over and saute until it is crispy.
-
Add the sausage over the top of the spaghetti squash.
-
Beat the eggs and pour into the skillet. Stir until eggs are no longer runny.
-
Sprinkle the bacon over the top of the skillet.
-
Transfer skillet into the oven (or transfer into a small serving dish into the oven), and bake for 10 minutes, or until eggs are cooked through.
-
Remove from oven, let cool for a couple of minutes and enjoy!
