I love eating all types of squash in the fall – spaghetti, butternut, kabocha, delicata, and ACORN! This Breakfast Stuffed Acorn Squash is a delicious way to enjoy your first meal of the day. Acorn squash are roasted with some ghee, salt, and cinnamon. Then we stuff them with a scramble made from pasture-raised eggs, spinach, and Jones Dairy Farm No Antibiotics Ever Chicken Sausages. I topped them with a simple garlic aioli made from mayo, garlic, and hot sauce. This meal is the perfect combination of sweet and savory! It also makes a lot, so you will have leftovers for a couple of days.

What You’ll Need to Make This Breakfast Stuffed Acorn Squash
You only need a few simple ingredients to make this recipe:
- 1 package Jone’s Dairy Farm No Antibiotics Ever Chicken Sausages
- 2 acorn squash, cut in half and seeds scooped out
- olive oil or ghee
- raw spinach
- 4 eggs
- minced garlic
- onion
Optional Garlic Aioli:
- Mayo
- Hot sauce
- Minced garlic
How To Make These Breakfast Stuffed Acorn Squash
Preheat your oven to 400. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop the seeds out of the halved acorn squash and discard them. Slice a little piece off of the bottom of each half so they stand up on the pan without tipping over. Spray each squash with olive oil or cooking spray and sprinkle with some cinnamon and salt. Roast the 4 halves for 35-40 minutes or until you can easily pierce them with a fork.
Meanwhile, make the filling. Place the frozen sausages on a plate and microwave for 30 seconds – 1 minute until they are soft enough to cut. Chop them into 1 inch pieces. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil over medium heat and add in the sausage, onion, and garlic. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the onion becomes translucent and garlic is fragrant. Add in the 3 cups of raw spinach and stir for 1-2 minutes until wilted. Push everything to the outside of the pan, leaving a vacant circle in the middle. Beat the 4 eggs in a bowl, then pour them into the middle of the pan. Use a spatula to move them around until they are scrambled and fully cooked through. Toss the eggs with the sausage spinach mixture.
Mix the aioli ingredients together in a separate bowl and refrigerate it until you’re ready to serve everything.
When the squash come out of the oven, carefully fill each one with some of the sausage egg mixture, then drizzle with the aioli. Serve and enjoy!
