Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs Butternut squash, peeled and cubed
  • 4 tbsp Butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup Heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup Shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 2 large Eggs
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1/2 tsp Black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp Nutmeg
  • 1/2 cup Pecans, chopped (for topping)
  • 2 tbsp Parmesan cheese, grated (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. Steam or boil the cubed butternut squash until very tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain well.
  3. Transfer the cooked squash to a large bowl. Mash thoroughly until smooth.
  4. Stir in the melted butter, heavy cream, cheddar cheese, eggs, salt, pepper, and nutmeg into the mashed squash until well combined.
  5. Pour the squash mixture into the prepared baking dish.
  6. In a small bowl, mix the chopped pecans and grated Parmesan cheese. Sprinkle this topping evenly over the casserole.
  7. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the casserole is set.
  8. Let it cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your delicious keto treat!

Notes

  • If you prefer a smoother texture, use an immersion blender to puree the squash after cooking.
  • Feel free to substitute the pecans with walnuts for a different nutty flavor.
  • We use sharp cheddar for a more pronounced cheese flavor, but any good melting cheese works.
