  3. Once the beef is browned add the green chilies and enchilada sauce and continue to heat through until it begins to bubble.  Set temperature to low.  
  4. Using a fork, scrape the spaghetti squash from the shells onto 6 serving plates.  Top with hot beef mixture, then 2 tbsp cheese. 
  5. In a small frying pan fry the eggs in a little oil, flipping once.  Place over easy egg on top of the cheese for each plate.  Enjoy immediately.
