Ingredients
    2 large acorn squash (about 1-1/2 pounds each)
    1 medium onion, chopped
    2 garlic cloves, minced
    3 tablespoons butter or 3 tablespoons margarine
    1/2 cup chopped green pepper
    1/2 cup chopped sweet red pepper
    2 eggs
    1 cup plain yogurt
    1 cup crumbled feta cheese
    1 1/4 teaspoons salt
    1/2 teaspoon pepper
    1 dash cayenne pepper (optional)
    1/4 cup sunflower seeds
Preparation
    Cut squash in half; discard seeds. Place squash cut side down in a greased 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pan. Bake at 375\u00b0 for 35-40 minutes or until tender; cool slightly. Carefully scoop out squash; place in a bowl and mash.
    In a skillet, saute onion and garlic in butter until tender. Add peppers; saute until crisp-tender. In a large bowl, whisk eggs and yogurt until blended. Stir in squash, onion mixture, feta cheese, salt, pepper and cayenne if desired. Transfer to a greased 11-in. x 7-in. x 2-in. baking dish. Sprinkle with sunflower kernels.
    Cover and bake at 375\u00b0 for 25 minutes. Uncover; bake 25-30 minutes longer or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.
