Butternut Squash & Bacon Deviled Eggs

Butternut Squash Deviled Eggs with Bacon

Howdy from Texas! We’re in Austin/San Antonio for a quick trip to visit Lucas’s family and are currently on our last day of binge-eating Mexican food and allofthemeat. We warmed up for our trip by snacking on these spicy butternut squash deviled eggs topped with crispy bacon.

Hard Boiled Eggs & Bacon

When we return to California tomorrow though, our diet will be all salads all week. We spent Sunday in San Antonio for our own baby shower with Lucas’s fam where his Aunt Janet made her famous Mexican rice to serve alongside a few dozen award-winning pork tamales. Lucas filled up with leftover tamales right before bed. Then around 7am, I woke up to the stench of pork tamales in the bedroom that had me convinced he’d snuck a tamale home in his pocket.

Worse. He had tamale scent SEEPING out of his pores! My husband turned into a tamale. This is just about the worst smell for a pregnant lady to wake up to…especially when there are no tamales anywhere in sight.

Butternut Squash Deviled Eggs with Bacon

These deviled eggs are my fall-inspired contribution to David from Spiced Blog‘s dude-food themed virtual baby shower! Congrats on welcoming a new lil’ dude taste-tester, David! When Chris reached out to see if I was game for the shower and gave “dude food” as the only rule, I knew bacon would make it in there somehow.

Doubly perfect since, at 24 weeks, our own growing #cheesebabygirl is approximately the length of a slice of bacon – just under a foot long.

I’m sure she’ll thank me later for comparing her to a slice of bacon.

Here’s an up-to-date list of the baby-by-food sizes so far. The large size jump from week 19-21 marks the point at which she’s measured head to toe versus crown to rump.

  • 15 weeks: Chestnut Dutch Baby with Caramelized Nectarines (Nectarine)
  • 16 weeks: Sparkling Asian Pear and Mint Iced Tea (Asian Pear)
  • 18 & 19 weeks: Heirloom Tomato and Bell Pepper Gazpacho (Bell Pepper & Heirloom Tomato, respectively)
  • 21 weeks: Vanilla Bean Haupia Pudding with Caramelized Plantains (Plantains)
  • 23 weeks: Spaghetti Squash Fritters with Dill Yogurt Sauce (Spaghetti Squash)
  • 24 weeks: Butternut Squash & Bacon Deviled Eggs (Slice of Bacon)

Butternut Squash Deviled Eggs with Bacon

Mixing butternut squash purée and a pinch of nutmeg into deviled egg filling adds a tinge of sweetness that’s offset with a dash of cayenne and some crispy savory bacon on top to spice things up. Put them on the table at your Halloween shindig or while watching football on Thanksgiving day and they’ll disappear instantly. Fall dude food. Cheers to David, Laura, and their soon-to-be new dude!

Butternut Squash Deviled Eggs with Bacon

Butternut Squash and Bacon Deviled Eggs

Yield: 12 deviled eggs

Ingredients

  • 1 small butternut squash (.75 to 1 pound)
  • 6 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • ⅛ teaspoon cayenne, plus more for sprinkling
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt
  • ⅛ teaspoon nutmeg
  • 2 slices of cooked bacon, crumbled

Instructions

  1. Cook the butternut squash. Prick the squash with a fork several times. You can roast the whole pricked squash at 375°F for about 30 minutes, until tender. Alternatively, you can microwave it for 5 minutes, cut it in half lengthwise, and microwave both halves cut-side down for another 5-8 minutes, until tender. When the squash is tender, remove and discard (or save) the seeds and scoop out the filling.
  2. Place the cooked squash in a food processor or blender and blend until smooth. Measure out 6 tablespoons of squash for the deviled eggs.
  3. Meanwhile, hard-boil the eggs. Place the eggs in a large pot and cover with at least 2 inches of cold water (*see note). Bring the water to a rolling boil over medium-high heat. Remove the pot from the heat and cover for 11 minutes. Remove the eggs from the pot and run them under cold water to stop the cooking. When they're cool enough to handle, peel the eggs, slice them in half lengthwise and scoop out the yolks into a mixing bowl.
  4. Add the 6 tablespoons of butternut squash purée to the bowl with the yolks, and mix. Add the mayonnaise, cayenne, salt, and nutmeg and mix until smooth (you can also return this mixture to the food processor or blender if you want it super smooth).
  5. Divide the filling among the egg halves (either using a spoon or pipe it in using a piping bag).
  6. Top with a few crumbles of cooked bacon and sprinkle cayenne on top. Refrigerate until serving.

    Thank you so much for this post, Sarah! How did you know I love deviled eggs? And bacon…I mean, well, we all know that bacon makes everything better. I’m absolutely certain that you future daughter will thank you for comparing her to a slice of bacon. I mean, come on…there’s few things in the world that are better than bacon! :-) Seriously, though, thank you again. You guys totally surprised me with this…and you totally made my week, too!

I am so excited to try them. :) Look so yummy! Thank you for sharing a great combination of eggs, butternut squash and most of all bacon.. :)

    Oh noooooo!!!! If I woke up next to a real live tamale while pregnant, somebody would ACTUALLY get their face kicked in. Or at the very least puked on. If Lucas eats tamales again in the next few months I will come over and hold so you can punch. :) :) But why would he eat tamales when he could just be eating these deviled eggs?? Yes please.

    Anyone try using the canned butternut squash from Trader Joe’s in this recipe? Would be WAY easier! Just wondering and if so how much. Thanks!

      That’s a good idea! I haven’t ever s the canned butternut squash at trader joes – is it pretty thick still or really runny? If it’s not too runny, then I bet it would still work! Just add 6 tablespoons of canned in place of the roasted squash!

Last year, Zoella (4) peeled and ate a blood orange she’d found in a bush in our side yard when we weren’t looking. We found the sticky peels on the steps and panicked - where did this blood orange come from? Did an animal bring it? Is she going to get sick?! 
•
And that’s how we discovered our neighbors have a blood orange tree. By that point, it had dropped most of its fruit except for a few very high up branches that leaned over our fence. The tree is fruiting and nearly ripe again so I’m hopeful I can barter for a bag of oranges in exchange for some slices of this bundt cake.

Made in partnership with @plenty, this breakfast, lunch, or dinner anytime dish shows off their pesticide-free greens that are vertically farmed right here in the Bay Area. I’ve told you this before and it’s not an exaggeration when I say these are my favorite greens – they somehow taste fresher and more vibrant. 
•
I dropped some of this dutch baby off with my neighbor and, without prompting, she immediately texted, “YOM. I would make this. Greens are hella good.” It’s true. The greens are the star. If you’re in the Bay Area, use the link in my profile to find out where to get them near you!

Related big news: Ira (2) voluntarily ate cooked Baby Kale without throwing it on the floor or sneakily moving it to his sister’s plate. Even Ira knows a good thing when he sees it. 
•
For the gluten-free dutch baby recipe, search “almond dutch baby” on snixykitchen.com. Omit the sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla, and top it with grated gruyere 5 minutes before it’s done. For topping, saute some mixed mushrooms in butter with fresh thyme, and sliced garlic. Then add a few handfuls of Baby Kale and toss just to wilt. Salt & pepper to your heart’s content. If you want the extra flare, add a runny fried egg (eggs on eggs – why not?).
