MERRITT'S BUTTERNUT SQUASH GRATIN



Merritt's Butternut Squash Gratin image

Slightly sweet golden squash is topped with a savory herbed cheese-breadcrumb topping. It's been my signature dish every Thanksgiving for the last 12 years. It takes a bit of work, but it is so, so worth it. Your guests will ask you for the recipe, so be prepared.

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.

Categories     Dinner

Yield 9 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon all purpose flour
1 cup milk
1 can Campbell's® Cream of Chicken Soup
¼ teaspoon onion powder
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaf, roughly chopped (option to use dried)
½ cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
½ cup shredded gruyère cheese
¼ cup grated parmesan cheese
1 butternut squash, halved lengthwise and sliced into ⅛-inch-thick slices
½ cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
½ cup shredded gruyère cheese
⅓ cup seasoned bread crumbs
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaf, roughly chopped (option to use dried)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
  • Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the flour and stir for 1 minute more, or until the flour turns light golden brown in color. Slowly pour the milk, stirring constantly, and cook, still stirring, until the mixture thickens slightly, 2-3 minutes.
  • Add the Campbell's® Cream of Chicken Soup and stir to combine. Add the onion powder; salt; pepper; thyme; and the cheddar, Gruyère, and Parmesan cheeses. Stir for about 2 minutes, or until the cheese has melted completely. Remove the pot from the heat.
  • Arrange ⅓ of the butternut squash slices on the bottom of an 8-inch square baking dish. Spread ⅓ of the sauce on top of the squash. Repeat with the remaining squash and sauce to make 2 more layers.
  • Bake the gratin for 35 minutes, until the butternut squash is tender.
  • Remove the gratin from the oven and turn the broiler on high.
  • Sprinkle the cheddar and Gruyère cheeses over the gratin in an even layer. Top with the bread crumbs and thyme.
  • Return the gratin to the oven and broil until the cheese is melted and the bread crumbs are toasted, 1-3 minutes. Keep a close eye on the dish to prevent burning.
  • Allow the gratin to cool for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
  • Enjoy!
