Time 1h10m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 10

¼ cup unsalted butter, divided
1 cup diced onion
2 tablespoons minced garlic
4 cups 3/4-inch sweet potato slices
2 cups heavy whipping cream, divided
1 cup 1-inch peeled acorn squash cubes
2 sprigs fresh thyme, leaves removed
kosher salt and ground black pepper to taste
½ cup seasoned bread crumbs
¼ cup grated Asiago cheese

Steps:

  • Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a heavy saucepan over medium heat. Cook and stir onion and garlic in hot butter until onion is golden and soft, 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Stir sweet potatoes, 1 3/4 cups cream, acorn squash, thyme, kosher salt, and pepper into onion mixture. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and simmer until potatoes and squash are tender, 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 385 degrees F (195 degrees C). Butter an 8x13-inch baking dish with remaining butter.
  • Pour potato-squash mixture into prepared baking dish. Drizzle remaining cream over potatoes and squash; top with bread crumbs and Asiago cheese. Cover baking dish with aluminum foil.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until tender and hot throughout, 25 to 35 minutes. Remove aluminum foil and bake until top is golden brown, about 10 minutes more.
