Fabulous squash souffle for fall and winter. This is a great dish on a cold day when you've turned down the thermostat to save money on heat. You can keep the oven on for a couple hours while making this dish and warm the house. You'll also warm the house with the smells of nutmeg and cinnamon. After you've scooped the seeds, you can also roast them. See the Roasted Pumpkin Seed recipe. I cozied up with Louise Erdrich's book, The Plague of Doves, and felt glad that I wasn't in the cold of North Dakota. Her stories of Ojibwe characters were very warming too.

Ingredients:

5 cups squash puree (about 2 medium squash)
3/4 cup apple juice
2 eggs
1/2 cup agave syrup

1 t Stevia (or 1 T sugar)
pinch of salt
1/2 t vanilla
1 t cinnamon
1/2 t nutmeg
Topping:
1 cup chopped hazelnuts
1/4 cup melted butter
1/4 cup maple syrup
