Ingredients

  • 4 cups cooked spaghetti squash (about half a spaghetti squash)
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil (or ghee)
  • 2 slices thick-cut bacon (or 4 slices of thin bacon)
  • 2 eggs
  • dried or fresh parsley
  • salt
  • pepper

Instructions

  • Cut the bacon into chunks. Place a medium skillet on your stove and heat to medium heat. Add the bacon and cook, stirring frequently, until cooked through.
  • Take a small plate and fold a few paper towels over the plate. When bacon is cooked, transfer to the paper towel-lined plate to drain.
  • Wipe out the skillet, then heat 1 tablespoon olive oil for about 30-60 seconds. Add the cooked spaghetti squash and sauté for about 10 minutes, stirring every 3-4 minutes. Once cooked through and slightly browned, transfer to 2 bowls or plates
  • Add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil to the skillet. Then crack the two eggs into the skillet and fry until whites are cooked through, flipping if necessary.
  • While eggs are cooking, divide the cooked bacon among the two spaghetti squash plates.
  • After eggs are cooked, plate on top of the bacon and spaghetti squash.
  • Season with salt, pepper, and dried or fresh parsley.

Notes

  • 3-4 cups of cooked spaghetti squash work perfectly in this dish. You can also just use half of a cooked spaghetti squash.
  • If you don't have thick-sliced bacon, just double the amount for thin sliced bacon. In this recipe, that would mean 4 slices thin bacon instead of 2 slices thick bacon.
