Easy Pumpkin Gratin Recipes

PUMPKIN GRATIN

Steps:

• Cut the pumpkin in half and, with a knife, remove the flesh from inside. Discard the seeds and cut flesh into thin slices. Place the slices and chicken broth, or 1 cup lightly salted water, in a saucepan. Simmer, covered but stirring frequently, until just tender, about 10 minutes. Drain, transfer to a bowl and season with salt and pepper.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• Cook the bacon until it begins to crisp. Drain on paper towels. Stir in the onion and garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until softened, about 7 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in the tomatoes, thyme and sage and let cool slightly.
• Stir the onion mixture, bacon, eggs, cream and 2 tablespoons of cheese into the pumpkin.
• Place mixture into a 9-inch gratin dish or 2 1/2-quart shallow baking dish, smoothing the top. Sprinkle with the remaining cheese and the bread crumbs. Bake until nicely browned, about 30 minutes.

PUMPKIN GRUYèRE GRATIN WITH THYME

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F. In a medium skillet over medium heat, heat the oil and butter. Add the onion and 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook until softened and starting to brown, 8 to 10 minutes, tossing occasionally. Transfer to a 3-quart gratin dish and add pumpkin, thyme leaves, and 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pepper and toss to combine. Roast until squash is soft, tossing halfway through, about 45 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine cream, reserved thyme stems, garlic, remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, cayenne, and nutmeg. Bring to a simmer, whisk in cornstarch, and cook for 1 minute. Turn off heat, cover, and let steep about 30 minutes.
• Once squash is tender, remove thyme stems from cream mixture and pour cream over squash. Sprinkle with cheese and then breadcrumbs. Return to oven and cook until cream is bubbling, 5 to 7 minutes. Broil until top is golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Serve immediately.

PUMPKIN AND PECORINO GRATIN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees. In a food processor, combine bread and cheese. Season with salt and pepper, and pulse until large crumbs form.
• Season sugar-pumpkin puree with salt and pepper; spoon into a 1-quart baking dish. Sprinkle with crumb mixture, and dot with butter. Bake until crumbs are browned, 15 to 20 minutes.

POTATO AND PUMPKIN GRATIN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 1-quart casserole dish.
• Slice the potatoes and pumpkin with a mandolin into 1/8-inch thick slices, using the mandolin's 3-millimeter setting.
• Place 1/2 of the pumpkin slices on the bottom of the prepared casserole dish. Season with salt and pepper, add 1/4 of the thyme, and 1/4 of the Gruyere cheese. Layer 1/2 of the potato slices on top, season with salt and pepper, add 1/4 of the thyme, and 1/4 of the Gruyere. Repeat pumpkin layer and potato layer each one more time, using up remaining seasoning and Gruyere.
• Pour half and half evenly over the top and cover with aluminum foil.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes. Remove the foil and continue to bake another 15 minutes, or until potatoes are tender and top is nicely browned. Remove from oven and let sit for 15 minutes before serving.
