Winter Squash Souffle Bake

Yield: 5 servings
Prep: 15 min
Cook: 55 min

Ingredients

  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 packages (12 ounces each) frozen cooked winter squash, thawed
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon grated orange zest
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper

Directions

  1. Separate eggs. Let eggs and squash stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. Grease a 1-1/2-qt. souffle dish and lightly sprinkle with flour; set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the egg yolks, squash, butter, brown sugar, salt, orange zest, nutmeg and pepper.
  3. In a large bowl with clean beaters, beat egg whites until stiff peaks form. With a spatula, stir a fourth of the egg whites into squash mixture until no white streaks remain. Fold in remaining egg whites until combined. Transfer to prepared dish.
  4. Bake at 350° for 55-60 minutes or until the top is puffed and center appears set. Serve immediately.
