DELICATA SQUASH GRATIN
Delicata is a small winter squash with an edible skin, which makes it a breeze to prepare! Wash, slice off the ends, then halve it lengthwise, seed it, and cut into half moon shapes. It is excellent on its own, simply roasted, or baked in this lovely cheese sauce.

Tips:
- Choose the right squash. For this recipe, butternut squash or kabocha squash are both excellent choices. They are both sweet and have a firm texture that will hold up well in the casserole.
- Don't overcook the squash. The squash should be tender but still slightly firm. If you overcook it, it will become mushy and the casserole will be less flavorful.
- Use a good quality Gruyère cheese. Gruyère is a Swiss cheese that has a nutty, slightly salty flavor. It melts well and is perfect for this casserole.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different toppings. You can add a variety of toppings to this casserole, such as bread crumbs, chopped nuts, or grated Parmesan cheese.
- Make sure the casserole is hot and bubbly before serving. This casserole is best served hot out of the oven. If you let it cool, it will thicken and become less creamy.
Conclusion:
This Gruyère squash casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover squash. With its creamy texture, nutty flavor, and cheesy goodness, this casserole is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
