Butternut Squash Gratin Recipe

This indulgent butternut squash gratin is a lot like like a scalloped potato casserole except it’s made with winter squash along with onions, garlic, butter, heavy cream, cheese, and bread crumbs.

This delicious comfort food is versatile, an easy to make side dish, and perfect for Thanksgiving, Christmas feast or as well as a random weeknight.

The recipe is versatile; potatoes gratin is probably most famous, but you can make a gratin with a variety of ingredients such as cauliflower, spinach, asparagus, or, in this case, butternut squash.

3 tablespoons unsalted butter plus more for the baking dish

3/4 cup fresh bread crumbs

In a large sauté pan or Dutch oven, heat 2 tablespoons butter over medium heat.

Add the onion and garlic and cook until softened and translucent, 4 minutes.

Add the butternut squash slices and nutmeg and cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly tender, 5 to 8 minutes.

Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Transfer the squash mixture to the baking dish.

Smother with the cream, sprinkle with the bread crumbs, scatter the cheese on top,.

Add lardons if you used and dot with the remaining 1 tablespoon butter and cut into pieces.

Serve immediately, sprinkled with the chives, if desired.

Happy baking Foodie-licious cooks!

Cherish Every Single Moment With Loved Ones

Cherish Every Single Moment With Loved Ones. Not sure if it is the same for you, but too many people I am acquainted with are dying, friends and family members as well. In my opinion it's very important to cherish every single moment with loved ones, the happy and sad moments. Too many people are always angry and fighting over trivial things.
