2 small acorn squash, halved lengthwise
2 small russet potatoes, peeled and cubed
1 tablespoon butter
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 cup Stilton blue cheese, mashed
1 tablespoon butter
3 tablespoons shallot, minced
1/2 cup frozen chopped spinach, thawed
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon butter
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon bread crumbs
vegetable spray
Preheat oven to 375F. Place squash, cut side down, in baking pan with one-half cup water. Bake uncovered for approximately 40 minutes or until tender when pierced with a thin knife. Remove from oven and cool.
Meanwhile boil potatoes until tender. Mash with 1 Tbl. butter, pepper, and Stilton cheese. Reserve.
Melt 1 Tbl. butter in frying pan. Add shallots and spinach and cook over medium heat for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in salt and thyme and remove from heat and cool.
Blend mashed potato-Stilton mixture with spinach mixture. Scoop out squash and mash with 1-teaspoon butter and salt. Gently mix together squash and potato-spinach mixture, then mound in squashes. Sprinkle with breadcrumbs. Spray with vegetable spray to moisten.
Bake in preheated 400F oven for 25-35 minutes or until stuffing is heated through and lightly brown on top.
