Preheat oven to 350 °F (180 °C).

Cook squash in microwave oven 6-8 minutes or until tender. Mash until a purée texture, add mustard, 1 tbsp (15 ml) of butter and seasonings.

In a skillet, heat olive oil and melt in 1 tbsp (15 ml) of butter over high heat. Brown the stuffed cutlets 1-2 minutes on each side. Arrange in an ovenproof plate and season. Bake in oven, uncovered, 12-15 minutes.

Meanwhile, sauté the green onions in skillet for 2 minutes. Deglaze with the broth and honey. Let simmer 3-4 minutes.

Toss cheese with flour, and add it to the sauce. Melt gently, add the milk and adjust seasoning.
