Number Of Ingredients 10

1 clove garlic, peeled and cut in half
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, plus more for dish
1/2 cup dried breadcrumbs
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
5 pounds cheese pumpkin, peeled, seeded, and cut into 2-inch-long matchsticks
2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves
3 tablespoons snipped chives
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 375 degrees. Rub a 2-quart gratin dish with garlic clove, and generously spread with butter. Set aside.
  • Melt butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Add breadcrumbs. Season with salt and pepper, and stir until crumbs have separated, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a medium bowl, and stir in parsley. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, combine pumpkin, thyme, and chives. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer pumpkin mixture to prepared dish.
  • In a small saucepan, combine cream and nutmeg. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium; simmer 5 minutes. Pour cream over pumpkin mixture.
  • Transfer gratin dish to oven, and bake 20 minutes. Remove from oven; stir gently. Return to oven, and bake until cream has thickened and is bubbling, about 10 minutes. Remove from oven.
  • Turn on broiler. Sprinkle gratin with the reserved breadcrumb mixture, and broil until deep golden brown, about 2 minutes. Serve immediately.
