Fold in the squash, seasoning and the grated Gruyere or Swiss cheese. Beat the egg whites until stiff, adding a pinch of salt and the cream of tartar. Fold the squash mixture into the egg whites and spoon into a prepared 6 cup souffle dish. Sprinkle the surface of the unbaked souffle with grated Parmesan cheese.
