Ingredients:

7     tablespoons   unsalted butter
2                   onions
3/4   pound         fresh mushrooms
                    Salt
                    Freshly-ground black pepper
3     cups          mascarpone
3/4   pound         Emmentaler
1/4   pound         Parmigiano-Reggiano
3     whole         eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons     freshly-grated nutmeg
8     slices        white bread
2     large         acorn squash
                    removed, caps reserved

Directions: one line for each direction. When saved the lines will be numbered.

In a medium saute pan, heat 3 tablespoons of the butter, add the onion and mushrooms, and saute until they soften and the onions release their juices. Add salt and pepper, to taste, and set aside.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. In a large bowl, combine the mascarpone, Emmentaler, Parmigiano-Reggiano, eggs, and nutmeg, and stir well. Season with salt and pepper and stir in the onions and mushrooms.
In a saute pan, melt the remaining butter and toss in the bread cubes, cooking over high heat until they are crisp.
Place the squash in a baking dish and, using a total of a third of the cheese mixture, stuff the bottom of each of the squash. Using a total of half of the bread cubes, place them in even quantities into each of the squash. Top the bread cube layer with more of the cheese mixture, then the remaining bread cubes, and the remaining cheese.
Replace the caps on the squash and roast 1 1/2 hours in the oven, until the flesh is very soft. Remove from the oven, let cool for a few minutes and scoop out the cheese and flesh to serve.
This recipe yields 6 to 8 servings.
