Time 1h20m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 medium acorn squash, halved and seeded
¼ cup butter
1 apple, cubed
1 potato, cubed
1 link kielbasa sausage, cubed
½ cup diced onion
½ cup dried cranberries
2 eggs, beaten
½ cup shredded sharp provolone cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Place squash skin-sides down in a baking dish. Stab the outsides several times with a fork. Flip over and split butter evenly over the insides, coating the "bowls" with butter. Set aside.
  • Combine apple, potato, and kielbasa with onion and cranberries in a bowl. Pour in eggs and stir to combine. Heat a buttered frying pan over medium heat and pour in the egg mixture. Cook and stir until eggs are set, about 5 minutes. Scoop mixture into the squash bowls. Top with provolone cheese and cover with foil.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until squash is tender, about 45 minutes. Remove foil for the last 15 minutes for a crispy top.
