Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked and pureed squash (butternut or pumpkin works well)

- 3/4 cup sugar (adjust to taste)
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Prepare the Squash: If you haven't already, cook and puree the squash until smooth. You can steam or roast it until tender.
- Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the pureed squash, milk, sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Whisk until well combined and smooth.
- Pour into Baking Dish: Grease a baking dish or individual ramekins. Pour the custard mixture into the dish.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 45-50 minutes, or until the custard is set and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Let the custard cool for a few minutes before serving. It can be enjoyed warm or chilled.
