For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a pinch of nutmeg or cinnamon to the squash mixture. If you don't have half-and-half, you can substitute with whole milk or light cream. The pecan topping can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Or freeze it for future use!
