Provided by Merrittorious

Categories     Side Dish     Vegetables     Squash

Time 2h5m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 tablespoons butter
1 yellow onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 (2 1/2 pound) butternut squash - peeled, seeded, and cut into 3/4-inch chunks
1 teaspoon brown sugar
1 cup chicken broth
8 ounces shredded Gruyere cheese
8 ounces shredded extra-sharp Cheddar cheese
1 cup dry bread crumbs
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  • Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir in the onions and garlic; cook until the onions soften and turn golden brown, about 10 minutes. Add the butternut squash and brown sugar. Continue cooking and stirring until the butternut squash begins to brown on the edges, but is still somewhat firm in the center, about 10 minutes more. Scrape the squash into the prepared baking dish, and pour in the chicken broth. Wrap tightly with aluminum foil.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the liquid has been absorbed and the squash is tender, 45 to 50 minutes. Toss together the Gruyere cheese, Cheddar cheese, bread crumbs, thyme, and rosemary in a bowl until evenly combined. Remove the foil from the baking dish, and sprinkle the squash evenly with the cheese mixture. Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese on top. Return to the oven, and bake uncovered for 15 minutes more until the topping is lightly crunchy and brown.

Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 large butternut squash (3 1/4 pounds), peeled and seeded (2 1/2 pounds)
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Cut off and discard the stem of the squash, then cut the squash into two pieces by cutting through it horizontally at the bottom of the neck. This will make it easier to peel.
  • Peel the cylindrical neck lengthwise, removing enough skin so that the orange flesh underneath is revealed. (Under the outer skin there is a layer of green, which should be removed.) Peel the round part of the squash by cutting around it in a spiral fashion with a sharp knife; it is easier to peel a round object in this manner.
  • Cut the rounded part in half lengthwise, and, using a spoon, scoop out the seeds. Then cut the squash into 1/8-to-1/4-inch slices, either with a knife or in a food processor fitted with the slicing blade.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Place the squash slices in a large saucepan, cover them with water, and bring to a boil. Boil over high heat for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes, then drain in a colander. The pieces will break a little in cooking. Arrange pieces in a gratin dish, and sprinkle with the salt and pepper. Pour on the cream, and stir gently with a fork to distribute the additions properly. Cover with the cheese, and bake for about 30 minutes.
  • At serving time, brown the top of the gratin by heating it under a hot broiler for 4 to 5 minutes. Serve immediately.

¼ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Tips:

  • Choose the right butternut squash: Look for a squash that is firm and has a deep orange color. Avoid squash that is bruised or has soft spots.
  • Peel and cube the squash: Use a sharp knife to peel the squash, then cut it in half lengthwise. Scoop out the seeds and pulp, then cut the squash into 1-inch cubes.
  • Roast the squash: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Toss the squash cubes with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread the squash in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes, or until the squash is tender and slightly browned.
  • Make the sauce: While the squash is roasting, make the sauce. In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook until softened. Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute. Gradually whisk in the milk and bring to a simmer. Season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg.
  • Assemble the gratin: In a greased baking dish, layer the roasted squash, sauce, and cheese. Repeat the layers until all of the ingredients are used up. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Serve: Let the gratin cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped parsley or chives.

Conclusion:

Butternut squash gratin is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a fall or winter meal. The squash is roasted until tender and slightly browned, then layered with a creamy sauce and cheese. The gratin is then baked until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
