GRATIN OF BUTTERNUT SQUASH

Steps:

• Cut off and discard the stem of the squash, then cut the squash into two pieces by cutting through it horizontally at the bottom of the neck. This will make it easier to peel.
• Peel the cylindrical neck lengthwise, removing enough skin so that the orange flesh underneath is revealed. (Under the outer skin there is a layer of green, which should be removed.) Peel the round part of the squash by cutting around it in a spiral fashion with a sharp knife; it is easier to peel a round object in this manner.
• Cut the rounded part in half lengthwise, and, using a spoon, scoop out the seeds. Then cut the squash into 1/8-to-1/4-inch slices, either with a knife or in a food processor fitted with the slicing blade.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Place the squash slices in a large saucepan, cover them with water, and bring to a boil. Boil over high heat for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes, then drain in a colander. The pieces will break a little in cooking. Arrange pieces in a gratin dish, and sprinkle with the salt and pepper. Pour on the cream, and stir gently with a fork to distribute the additions properly. Cover with the cheese, and bake for about 30 minutes.
• At serving time, brown the top of the gratin by heating it under a hot broiler for 4 to 5 minutes. Serve immediately.

BUTTERNUT SQUASH AU GRATIN RECIPE BY TASTY

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!
