Preheat oven to 350F. With a fork or a sharp knife, poke holes all over squash. Microwave it on high 10 min. Let sit until cool enough to handle. Halve squash lengthwise; scoop out and discard seeds. Flesh should be tender when scraped with a fork; if it isn't microwave on high (cut side down) in 1 min. intervals until tender.

Scrape flesh from 1 squash half into a blender. Whirl with 2 cups half and half, the granulated sugar, nutmeg, and five spice powder until smooth. Add eggs and whirl just to combine.
Put bread cubes in a large bowl and pour half of the egg mixture over them. Stir remaining 1 cup half and half into remaining egg mixture and pour entire mixture over bread. Let sit 30 min.

Gently stir mashed squash into bread mixture. Butter a 9x13 in pan and pour mixture into pan. Bake until set in center, about 30 min. Serve warm.
