Step 2. Using a small spoon or knife, scoop out the center of each ring to remove the seeds.

Step 3. Season squash with salt and pepper, then sauté in olive oil in a large skillet.

Step 4. Once you’ve flipped each squash ring, crack and egg in the center of each and cook until yolks reach desired doneness.

Sprinkle with za’atar and any fresh herbs like parsley or chives to serve, then enjoy your Delicata Squash Egg Cups!
