1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 medium onion, diced
1 butternut squash (about 2 pounds), peeled, seeded, and chopped
4 red or golden apples, peeled, cored, and chopped, plus 1 apple, finely diced and tossed in lemon juice, for garnish (optional)
2 teaspoons coarse salt
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Total Time 40 mins

Place a medium saucepan over medium heat (see Cook’s Note). Melt the butter in 1 tablespoon of the oil. Stir in the onion, garlic, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion becomes translucent and soft without browning, about 3 minutes. Next, stir in the squash and potatoes, until coated with the onion mixture, about 1 minute. Pour in 1/4 cup water, cover with a tight-fitting lid and simmer over medium-low heat until the squash and potatoes are fork-tender, but still give some slight resistance, 10 to 12 minutes.
Remove the lid, stir in the milk, corn and peas and cook over medium-low heat, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the squash and potatoes are completely tender and can be easily mashed with the back of a spoon, about 8 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from the heat, then add the cheese and cilantro. Give the locro one gentle stir, then let sit to allow the cheese to melt before serving, 3 to 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a medium saute pan or skillet over medium heat. Add the eggs and cook until crispy around the edges, the whites are cooked through and the yolk is still runny, 4 to 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Serve the locro with the eggs and rice.
