SUNNY'S PERFECT SCRAMBLED CHEESY EGGS

Steps:
- In a large nonstick pan with sloped sides (even a wok shape works), melt the butter over medium-low heat, being careful to not brown the butter. If it begins to bubble, the heat is too high, so lower the heat to cook the eggs properly. (Slow and low like BBQ is the way to go with eggs.)
- Meanwhile, in a large bowl, add the eggs and 1 teaspoon cold water. Vigorously whisk until frothy and smooth. Swirl the pan around to coat the butter on the bottom and up the sides. Pour the eggs into the pan and let sit for a few seconds. When the eggs begin to lightly set on the bottom, use the whisk to gently beat the eggs, then allow them to sit for just a few seconds between beating them again. Curds will begin to form and increase throughout the cooking time. Repeat this process of whisking then resting the eggs for a few seconds until about 50 percent of the eggs are set and the rest are still wet. At this point, sprinkle the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper and continue to whisk and rest alternately. Once the eggs are 75 percent done, add the cheese and from this moment, continue to whisk the eggs until done. This entire process from pouring in the eggs to them being finished should take 8 to 12 minutes; this isn't a race, only a journey to the best scrambled eggs ever. Remove from the heat and continue to scramble in the last seconds. Serve warm.

Steps:
- Turn on your oven to 400 degrees. Place the spaghetti squash halves face-down on a baking sheet and pop them into your oven. No need to preheat your oven. Bake for 30 minutes then remove the squash from your oven. Turn the oven temperature down to 350 degrees. When they have cooled slightly, use a fork to remove the squash in spaghetti-like strings. Work from side to side to do this - not top to bottom.
- While the spaghetti squash is roasting, prepare the tomato sauce. Heat the oil in a large, ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and let it cook until it golden and starting to caramelize, about 10 minutes. Add the garlic and (if using) the anchovies and cook for 1 minute. Add the tomato paste to the pan and cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
- Add the crushed tomatoes to the pan and scrape off any brown bits on the bottom of the pan. Add the balsamic vinegar, honey (if using), and chili flakes and let the sauce cook for at 10 minutes. Generously season to taste with sea salt. Turn the element to low if the spaghetti squash is not yet ready.
- Stir the spaghetti squash into the tomato sauce, reserving a handful to scatter on top. Make 6 wells in the sauce, being careful not to let the bottom of the pan show in any of the wells. Crack an egg into each well then scatter the reserved spaghetti squash around the pan.
- Put the pan into your oven and let it cook for 5 minutes. If the whites have not set, leave them in for another minute. Watch them closely as it is very easy to overcook them. It is better to have soft set egg whites to mix into the sauce rather than over cooked yolks.

Tips:
- Choose the right spaghetti squash: Look for a spaghetti squash that is firm and heavy for its size, with a deep yellow color. Avoid squash with blemishes or soft spots.
- Cook the spaghetti squash properly: There are two main ways to cook spaghetti squash: baking or microwaving. Baking is the traditional method and takes about an hour, while microwaving is a quicker option that takes about 10 minutes. Whichever method you choose, be sure to cook the squash until it is tender and easily shredded.
- Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better your cheesy scrambled egg and spaghetti squash brunch plate will taste. Use fresh eggs, milk, cheese, and vegetables for the best results.
- Don't overcook the eggs: Scrambled eggs are best when they are cooked until they are just set, but not overcooked. Overcooked eggs will be tough and rubbery.
- Season to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add herbs, such as chives or parsley, for extra flavor.
