Made last night for supper as a side with sausage links and asparagus. I ended up making it more as a casserole than a souffle as supper needed to be served earlier than I expected. So instead of separating the yolks and whites and whipping up the egg whites, I just mixed the whole eggs into the squash mixture and omitted the cream of tartar. I used fresh butternut squash instead of frozen. I made a double batch and topped each one with a little bit of mozzarella cheese and baked a little longer to let the cheese melt. They turned out well. Obviously they didn't rise like a souffle would have, but the taste was good and my husband really enjoyed. I may serve some of the leftovers to my 8 month old today. I think this would make a great Thanksgiving side. Yummy and different. We like sweet potatoes, but aren't fans of the traditional "sweet potato casserole" either.
