Ingredients

  • 4 cups cubed butternut squash
  • 2 wedges the laughing cow light original swiss cheese, room temp
  • 3/4 cup sliced onion
  • 1/4 cup fat-free liquid egg substitute
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

  2. Place squash in a large microwave-safe bowl with a 1/4 cup water. Cover and microwave for 6 minutes. Once bowl is cool enough to handle, uncover and drain any excess water. Set aside.

  3. Place onion in a small microwave-safe dish with 2 tablespoons water. Cover and microwave for 3 minutes. Let cool slightly, uncover and drain any excess water. Set aside.

  4. Place squash in a blender. Add all of the other ingredients except for the onion. Pulse until thoroughly mixed but not liquified.

  5. Remove blender from base and stir in onion. Transfer mixture to a small casserole dish sprayed with nonstick spray.

  6. Bake in the oven for 35 to 40 minutes, until edges of the squash casserole begin to brown. Serve with a spoon as you would mashed potatoes.
