Puffed Butternut Squash
- 1 (2-pound) butternut squash, peeled, seeds and strings discarded, and the flesh cut into 1-inch pieces
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- In a microwave glass dish sprinkle the squash with 2 tablespoons water and microwave it, covered with microwave-safe plastic wrap, at high power (100 percent) for 7 to 10 minutes, or until it is very tender.
- Transfer the squash to a bowl, with an electric mixer beat it with the butter and half the brown sugar until the mixture is smooth, and beat in the egg and salt and pepper, to taste.
- Divide the mixture among 4 (1 1/4-cup) ramekins, sprinkle it with the remaining brown sugar, and microwave it, uncovered, at high power (100 percent) for 6 to 8 minutes, or until it is puffed and just set.
