Ingredients
- 1 cup prepared wheat berries warmed
- 1 cup diced butternut squash
- 1 egg
- 1/3 cup ricotta cheese part skim or full milk
- 2 teaspoons butter divided
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Melt 1 teaspoon of the butter in a nonstick pan. Toss in the butternut squash chunks and sauté over medium heat until browned and soft, about 15 minutes. It should look mashed. If it doesn't, smash it a bit with the back of your spatula. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Fry the egg in the remaining teaspoon of butter. Spoon the prepared wheat berries into the bottom of your serving bowl, leaving a well for the squash. Place the squash in the well, then top with ricotta, followed by the fried egg. Season with salt and pepper.
