This awesome egg recipe can be
lunch or breakfast. Serving size is 2
egg cups and the technique with the spaghetti squash makes it possible to use
the squash cups for a variety of recipes as a low carb substitute for “bird
nests.”
2 stalks green onions, chopped
1 large egg white
1/4 teaspoon salt
Black pepper, to taste
1/8 teaspoon garlic
1/4 teaspoon parsley
1/4 cup all-purpose flour or chickpea flour if you are avoiding gluten
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
8 large eggs
Wash the spaghetti squash, and
use a knife to poke 8–10 holes into it. Place squash into a microwaveable dish.
Microwave for 7 minutes; turn over and microwave for an additional 7 minutes.
Allow squash to cool for 5 minutes. Cut off the ends of the squash and cut in
half. Remove seeds, and use a fork to scrape pulp into a mesh strainer. Press
down on squash pulp to drain liquid.

Spaghetti Squash Egg Cups
1 medium spaghetti squash
2 teaspoons cooking oil2 stalks green onions, chopped
1 large egg white
1/4 teaspoon salt
Black pepper, to taste
1/8 teaspoon garlic
1/4 teaspoon parsley
1/4 cup all-purpose flour or chickpea flour if you are avoiding gluten
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
8 large eggs
Directions
Preheat the oven to 425°F.
Spray a 12-well muffin tin with cooking spray.
Heat cooking oil in a medium
skillet on medium-low heat. Reserve a handful of green onions for garnish. Add
remaining onions to the pan, and sauté for about 5 minutes, or until soft.
Put squash, green onions, egg white,
salt, pepper, garlic, parsley, flour and cheese into mixing bowl. Combine until well mixed.
Evenly divide mixture into 8–10 muffin-tin wells (depending on size of your
squash). Press down on the bottom and sides of each well to create a “nest.”
Bake for 15 minutes, until the edges become golden and crispy.
Reduce the heat to 375°F. Remove
muffin tin from oven, and carefully crack 1 egg into each well. Bake an
additional 10–12 minutes, or longer depending on how you like your eggs.
Garnish with green onions, and serve.
