Ingredients

  • 3 cups butternut squash peeled and cut into 1/2 inch cubes
  • cooking spray
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1 cup onion chopped
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 2 cups low-fat milk

  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ⅛ teaspoon nutmeg ground
  • 3 eggs large
  • 2 egg whites large
  • 8 ounces day-old French bread cut into 1-inch cubes (about 9 cups)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 200°C.

Add bread, and stir gently to combine. Let stand 10 minutes. Spoon into a 2-quart baking dish coated with cooking spray. Sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup cheese. Bake at 180°C for 45 minutes, or until pudding is set and lightly browned.
