Method

Chop the butternut squash into small chunks and boil until tender. Meanwhile in a separate pan place the eggs into cold water, bring to the boil and cover. Leave to boil for 7 minutes then plunge them straight into cold water and set aside.
Mash the cooked butternut squash with a fork and leave to cool a little.
Peel and chop the eggs and put together with the mashed butternut squash, add enough mayonnaise for your desired taste along with a pinch of salt and pepper. Sprinkle with ground nutmeg, do a taste test and add more nutmeg if needed.
Serve as a sandwich filling or in a jacket potato with a nice green salad.
