The inspiration for this recipe came to me one morning when I was trying to figure out what to make for breakfast. I had some butternut squash that I needed to use up, and I also had a few eggs in the fridge. I decided to combine the two ingredients and see what happened. The result was a delicious and satisfying breakfast that I have been making ever since.
