Method

Preheat the oven to 200C/Fan 180C/400F/Gas Mark 6. Place the butternut squash on a baking sheet and rub a little oil on top. Season. Bake for 20mins or until tender. Meanwhile, heat the remaining oil, add the bacon and sauté for 3-4 mins or until the bacon is crisp. Add the mushrooms and onion and sauté for a further 2 mins. Heap the bacon mixture on top of the butternut squash and make a hollow in the centre of the mixture. Carefully crack an egg into the hollow and bake for 8-10mins or until the egg is baked to your liking. Serve hot with tomato salad.
