Whisk eggs into squash. Add remaining ingredients and whisk until combined well, scraping edges and bottom of dish.
Step 3
Cover tightly with microwave-oven plastic wrap. Cook at 100 percent power in a 650- to 700-watt oven for 5 minutes. Prick plastic to release steam.
Step 4
Uncover and stir well. Smooth mixture into an even layer. Cover and cook for 4 to 5 minutes. Prick plastic to release steam.
Step 5
Remove from oven. Uncover. Cut into slices and serve warm.
