- Add butternut squash and apples. Turn heat to medium high, stirring apples and squash every minute for 3-4 minutes. Once the apples and butternut squash have a bit of caramelized char on most of the sides, turn the heat down to low-medium. Add salt and pepper to taste. Continue cooking for addtional 10-15 minutes, or until fork tender. Taste and if needed, add maple syrup.

If topping with eggs, crack eggs directly on top. Bake in a preheated oven at 400F for 5- 8 minutes or until the eggs whites are visible and the yoik is cooked, but still runny.
