Zuke and Eggs

I don't know where I first learned this recipe. There is a version in The Vegetarian Epicure.
This is easy and light and one of our family's favorite summer meals.

ZUKE AND EGGS

Grate zucchini or summer squash.
Chop some onions.
Saute zukes and onions in a cast iron skillet with some olive oil.
Season with S & P and oregano.
With the back of a spoon make shallow dents in the cooked squash.
Into each dent, place 1 shelled egg.
Either bake the eggs in the oven or put a lid over the skillet and gently cook the eggs.
Do not over cook.

While the eggs are cooking, make Hollandaise sauce.
Serve zukes and eggs with the sauce.

Hollandaise Sauce
This is secretly easy.
I got this recipe from my mom.

Use these proportions:
1 egg:juice of 1/2 lemon:a "walnut sized" piece of butter

Melt the butter with the lemon juice.
Stir in the beaten egg(s).
Using a whisk, beat constantly over low to medium heat until the sauce thickens.
That's it.
