Ingredients:

4 cups squash
560g
1 cup onion
160g
2 tbsp olive oil
27g
1 cup red pepper
150g
4 slices ham
110g
2 oz gouda cheese
54g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ingredients:
- Peel and dice the butternut squash into small, uniform cubes.
- Dice the onion and red bell pepper.
- Dice the ham into small pieces.
- Shred the gouda cheese and set aside.
2. Cook the Squash:
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the diced butternut squash to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 10-12 minutes, or until the squash begins to soften and turn golden brown.
3. Sauté the Vegetables:
- Add the diced onion to the skillet with the butternut squash. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the onion becomes translucent and starts to caramelize.
- Stir in the diced red bell pepper and continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until the pepper is tender.
4. Add the Ham:
- Add the diced ham to the skillet and cook, stirring frequently, for another 3-4 minutes, or until the ham is heated through and slightly browned.
5. Finish the Dish:
- Sprinkle the shredded gouda cheese over the hash and stir gently until it melts evenly throughout the mixture. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
6. Serve:
- Remove the skillet from heat and serve the butternut squash hash hot. Enjoy it as a hearty breakfast, brunch, or even a satisfying dinner.

Tips:

- For even cooking, cut the butternut squash into uniform, small cubes.

- If you prefer a crispier texture, cook the squash in a single layer and avoid overcrowding the pan.

- Feel free to add other vegetables like spinach or kale for added nutrition and flavor.

- To save time, you can use pre-cut butternut squash available in most grocery stores.

- Ensure to stir the mixture occasionally to prevent burning and ensure even cooking of all ingredients.
