2.5 pounds mashed butternut squash (or 3 cups)
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
1/4 cup finely minced white onion
2 eggs, separated
1/4 cup milk
3 tablespoons all purpose flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup unseasoned bread crumbs

1
Preheat oven to 375 F. Grease a 6-cup casserole dish.
2
Prepare buttered breadcrumbs. Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Add unseasoned bread crumbs and stir until butter is absorbed. Remove from heat and set aside.
3
Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter into a clean frying pan, and saute the minced onion until translucent.
4
Stiffly whip the egg whites. Set aside.
5
In a large bowl, combine the pureed butternut squash with the sauteed onions. Add the egg yolks, milk, flour, baking powder, salt and pepper, stirring to combine.
6
Quickly fold the stiffly beaten egg whites into the butternut squash batter.
7
Pour batter into the greased casserole pan, smoothing top. Sprinkle with the buttered bread crumbs.
8
Bake for 25 minutes. When cooked, the edges will be golden brown and pulling away from the dish. The center will have puffed up.
9
This recipe can be prepared the day before and reheated, covered, in a 200 F oven until warm. It won't maintain the puffed appearance but will be just as tasty.
