2. Make the caramelized squash: Preheat the oven to 325u00b0. In a mixing bowl, toss the squash with the sugars, spices, melted butter and salt. Place the squash on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake until lightly caramelized and the flesh begins to soften, about 15 minutes. Remove the squash from the oven and let it cool slightly.

4. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar and vanilla until the eggs become pale and slightly frothy. Whisk in the milk, cream, cinnamon, salt, zest and melted butter until mixture is well combined. Add the caramelized squash and torn baguette and gently toss until all the bread pieces are coated. Set aside and allow the bread mixture to soak up the liquid for 15 minutes.
