Could you freeze a butternut squash kugel after baking? Has anyone done it?
See recipe below
Printed from Chabad.org
Butternut Squash Kugel
By Tamar Ansh
Makes one 8x11-inch tray; serves approx. 8
2½ cups (20 oz.) cooked and mashed butternut squash (about 2 medium squashes)
⅝ cup potato starch
½ cup oil
½ cup sugar
3 eggs
2 tsp. cinnamon
Method
Cut the butternut squash in half lengthwise. Remove the seeds. Place the pieces in a large pot with about 2 inches of water, and cover the pot. Bring this to a boil over a high flame, reduce the flame, and cook them for 30 minutes, until the squash is fork-tender. Remove the squash from the pot and let it cool. Scoop out the meat from the skin, discarding the skins. Mash the squash meat and measure out the amount needed. Sift the potato starch over the mashed squash with a small sifter or tea strainer, so it won't clump together. Add the oil, sugar, and eggs and mix well. Pour the batter into an 8x11-inch baking pan. Sprinkle the cinnamon over the top of the kugel. Bake for 40–45 minutes, until the center of the kugel tests firm when pierced with a knife.
TIP:
This kugel slices neatest when it is cold. Make it one day in advance. The next day, slice it into neat squares and then it can be served cold or warmed up, covered, for 10 minutes before serving.

Do you freeze the same recipe? I was planning on making in loaf (disposable) pans so I can slice it like the show in the picture. How do you defrost? Put straight in oven to warm up or leave out first?
thanks for your reply

I have a policy against using fresh butternut squash, (mainly b/c I like my hands and don't like the emergency room! ) so I use the packaged frozen kind. It does freeze beautifully though, I froze three for the yomim tovim. I don't think it matters if you defrost it before heating it up or just put it frozen into the oven, just that it would need to re-heat for longer if it's frozen when you put it in.

the fresh butternut squash is so much cheaper than the frozen. If u cut it up and then peel it it is a lot easier....
