BUTTERNUT SQUASH AND PARMESAN BREAD PUDDING (THE KIDS COOK MONDAY)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F/200°C.
• Cut the squash vertically in half, and remove the seeds. Place the halves face down on the prepared baking sheet, and roast in the preheated oven until the skin is blistered and the flesh tender, about 40 minutes. Remove and allow to cool a little. Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F/175°C.
• In the large bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, egg whites, milk, 1/2 cup cheese, sage, thyme, sea salt, black pepper, and nutmeg. Allow to rest and let the flavors marry. Warm the oil in the skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté the chopped onion until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and sauté for 1 more minute. Allow to cool for a couple minutes, then stir the onions and garlic in with the egg and milk mixture.
• Scrape the cooked squash out of the skin, and mash it in with the eggs and milk mixture, making sure the squash is thoroughly blended in. Stir in the torn bread, coating the bread thoroughly, then allow to rest for 10 minutes.
• Spread the squash and bread mixture in the prepared baking dish, and sprinkle on the remaining 1/2 cup of Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese. Bake in the preheated oven until the pudding is set and lightly browned, about 45 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to rest about 5 minutes, then serve.

SUMMER SQUASH BREAD PUDDING WITH FETA

Steps:

• Slice the bread about 3/4 inch thick. If the bread is not stale, toast it lightly. Cut 1 of the garlic cloves in half and rub each slice of bread with the cut side of the garlic. Then cut the bread into 1-inch dice, place in a bowl and toss with 1 cup of the milk. Refrigerate for 1 hour, tossing every once in a while. Mince the remaining garlic and set aside.
• While the bread is soaking, place the grated squash in a colander and salt generously. Toss and let sit in the colander in the sink for 15 minutes, then squeeze out water.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Oil a 2-quart baking dish or a 10-inch ceramic tart pan. Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a large, heavy skillet and add the onion. Cook, stirring often, until it begins to soften, about 3 minutes, and add a generous pinch of salt, the garlic and grated squash. Stir together until the garlic is fragrant and the squash limp, about 2 minutes. Stir in the chopped mint or dill and the parsley, and remove from the heat. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Remove the bowl with the soaked bread from the refrigerator. Using your hands, a whisk or an immersion blender, mash or beat the soaked bread so that the mixture turns to mush. Add the squash mixture and the feta to the bowl and stir together. Scrape into the oiled baking dish. Top with the grated Parmesan.
• Break the eggs into the bowl and beat with the remaining milk, salt to taste (about 1/2 teaspoon) and freshly ground pepper. Pour over the bread mixture and place the dish in the oven. Bake 50 to 60 minutes, until the mixture is puffed, golden brown on the top and set. Remove from the heat and allow to cool for 10 minutes or longer before serving.
