Breakfast couldn’t be easier and tastier with these paleo and Whole30 Chorizo and Butternut Squash Baked Eggs. They are perfect for a holiday brunch!
It’s been a long time since I posted a baked eggs or a frittata recipe (by the way… what the heck is the difference between the two??). That’s because I prefer my eggs sunny side up with the yolk drippy and runny.
However, baked eggs are great for a group or if you want to make them ahead of time to eat on busy mornings. And, I must say, that the flavors of chorizo and butternut squash together just might have changed my mind about them!
Chorizo and Butternut Squash Baked Eggs Recipe
The combination of chorizo and butternut squash is my new favorite recent discovery. There’s something so addicting about the spicy, salty chorizo with the subtly sweet and soft butternut squash. And when they are baked together with eggs, spinach, onion, and spices, there’s honestly nothing better. I’m honestly drooling just writing about it!
Make Up To 2 Days Ahead!
While you can make the whole thing, freeze the leftover slices, then defrost them when you want to eat them, you can also make part the recipe components ahead of time and finish cooking them the morning that you want to eat them. I recommend the latter if you want freshly baked, best tasting eggs for a get-together or a holiday brunch to save on time and effort when you have so many other things happening.
All you have to do is cook the ingredients ahead of time, all the way through adding spinach, and then refrigerator them before adding the eggs the next day and baking the whole thing together. You can do this up to 2 days ahead of time to get the hardest part of the recipe out of the way!

This looks so great! And I bet the flavors of butternut squash and chorizo are amazing together.
You had me at chorizo!! My husband and I love adding it to our scrambled eggs on for the weekend breakfasts during the colder months. BUT your recipe looks amazing! Making it this weekend!
YUM! What a lovely comfort food. I’d love waking up to these delicious breakfast every single morning!
YES!!! I love making eggy dishes like this one, filled with goodness.. YES to the chorizo + squash + spinach!
I love adding greens to these dishes too.. taste as well as nutrient dense + minerals! ( I know.. preaching to the choir..lol)
In any case, thanks for sharing.. I make variations but will try this one asap!!
Don’t you just love that it can be made ahead? LOVE the pan btw!
So yummy! We love chorizo in our home, such a great idea to pair with with butternut squash in this delicious egg dish.
This looks amazing! I never do baked eggs so yum!
You had me at chorizo, and let me tell you this recipe packs a flavor punch! I used frozen butternut squash and baked in a muffin tin so I can freeze the leftovers. I was worried the frozen squash would make the recipe watery, but it didn’t! No need to thaw the squash beforehand. The full recipe made 12 muffins. I will definitely be making this again!
I’m so happy you enjoyed it!
