Don’t worry—you don’t have to separate eggs and whip the whites for this easy soufflé. Instead, everything is whisked together, and it cooks to a light, fluffy consistency. Most recipes for this type of dish include lots of added sugar; we use far less and allow the naturally sweet squash flavor to shine. The dish tastes best at room temperature, so it’s a great option to make ahead. Frozen squash is the best choice here; it yields the best texture in the finished dish.
