Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Cook pumpkin or squash in the water for 30 minutes. Scrape out flesh. It will instantly turn into a puree. Thoroughly drain through a fine-mesh sieve. Reserve liquid for another use. Transfer to an oval dish.

  2. Step 2

    Whisk eggs into squash. Add remaining ingredients and whisk until combined well, scraping edges and bottom of dish.

  3. Step 3

    Cover tightly with microwave-oven plastic wrap. Cook at 100 percent power in a 650- to 700-watt oven for 5 minutes. Prick plastic to release steam.

  4. Step 4

    Uncover and stir well. Smooth mixture into an even layer. Cover and cook for 4 to 5 minutes. Prick plastic to release steam.

  5. Step 5

    Remove from oven. Uncover. Cut into slices and serve warm.
