"A Little Woman's" Butternut Bevy

I love The Little Women. It is one of the first books I remember trying to tackle this book on my own. Did I have any idea what a bevy was before this? No! Do I still have any idea what a bevy is? No, but it is delicious.

Ingredients
1 butternut squash, peeled and cubed
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 cup of heavy cream
1 tbs of brown sugar
1/4 tsp of nutmeg
1/2 tsp of salt
3/4 of crushed saltine crackers
2 tbs of melted butter

Directions
Cover the squash in water in a large pot.
Bring to a boil, and reduce heat to low and cover.
Let simmer for 25 minutes.
Beat the eggs, cream, sugar, nutmeg and salt together.
Combine crackers and melted butter.
Drain squash and place in a buttered large casserole dish.
Add cream mixture and mix.
Sprinkle with crushed cracker mix.
Cover dish and bake for 30 minutes at 350 degrees.

Changes I Made!
This is a recipe I made no changes to since I have no idea what a bevy is. I will say it does reheat well!
