An easy recipe for an airy, delicate butternut squash souffle that does not require separating the eggs. The perfect fall and winter side dish!
Airy, delicate and just barely sweet, this butternut squash souffle is a wonderful fall or winter side dish.
Since I’m too lazy to separate the eggs, whip the egg whites and fold them into the mixture, this butternut squash souffle doesn’t puff up a lot in the oven.
On the flip side, the souffle also doesn’t deflate when you take it out of the oven. And despite my laziness, it has this delightful light and airy texture.
