    Creamy Squash Omelet

    Was wondering what to do with some fresh, crooked-neck squash from my garden, and came up with this. Enough for two (hungry) diners. Prep and cooking time: about 15-20 minutes.

    Ingredients:
    Couple of squash, sliced and cut into about 3/4" squarish x 1/4" thick pieces;
    Five eggs, beaten;
    Three slices of bacon, cooked crispy and then crumbled/chopped into bits;
    Quarter stick of butter;
    Half cup of heavy whipping cream;
    Handful of shredded sharp cheddar cheese;
    Salt, pepper, garlic powder

    Directions:
    Cook the bacon and set aside.
    Melt the butter (medium heat) in a non-stick fairly large skillet.
    Add the squash and saute till softened (about 3-4 minutes).
    Add the heavy whipping cream and heat until bubbling;
    Add beaten eggs and stir in, adding seasonings and bacon bits;
    Turn heat to low and add grated cheese all over top without stirring.
    Watch for eggs to firm up for a couple of minutes, then turn off heat and let it sit for a couple more minutes until cheese bits meld with the mixture.
    Done. Now Eat.

      Thanks for this. Looks like were gonna have a bumper crop of squash this year before the vine borers get them. Wife has been looking for something other than baked squash.

                I made this as a side dish for dinner today. Very good!!

                I added chopped onion and fresh garlic to the squash when I sauteed it and a little Tony's along with the salt and pepper.

                  Nice! Honored that you tried it. Onion and garlic never hurt anything, either!

                    Thank you for sharing.

                    I see endless variations with this one: fresh tomatoes, fresh mushrooms, bell pepper, etc.
