Butternut Squash Gratin With Black Walnut Crisp Recipes

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.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350ºF.
• Cut squash lengthwise in half; discard seeds. Cut each half crosswise into thin slices; remove peels. Place squash in large saucepan. Add enough water to cover squash. Bring to boil on high heat; simmer on medium-low heat 8 to 10 min. or until squash is tender.
• Meanwhile, cook bacon in skillet until crisp, stirring occasionally. Remove bacon from skillet with slotted spoon, reserving 1 Tbsp. drippings in skillet. Drain bacon on paper towels. Add onions to reserved drippings; cook and stir 5 min. or until crisp-tender. Stir in flour and pepper; cook and stir 1 min. Gradually stir in broth; cook and stir 2 to 3 min. or until thickened. Remove from heat. Stir in 1 cup cheese.
• Drain squash. Arrange half in 8- or 9-inch square baking dish; cover with half the sauce. Repeat layers; top with bacon and remaining cheese.
• Bake 25 to 30 min. or until squash mixture is heated through and cheese is melted.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a gratin baking dish with butter.
• Heat 1 tablespoon butter and olive oil in a large skillet over low heat; add onions and sage. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are browned, about 25 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper.
• Place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to a boil. Add squash, cover, and steam until tender, 10 to 20 minutes. Transfer squash to prepared gratin dish; toss with garlic and 3/4 teaspoon salt. Add the caramelized onions to the pan and gently mix to combine.
• Warm cream in a saucepan over low heat; pour over squash mixture. Stir to coat. Combine bread crumbs and 1 1/2 tablespoons melted butter together in a bowl; sprinkle over squash mixture.
• Bake in the preheated oven until gratin is bubbling and breadcrumbs are browned, 20 to 25 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. In a large bowl, toss the squashes, onion, cream, cheese, salt, pepper and 2 tablespoons of the parsley. Scrape into a gratin dish or a medium-size baking dish. Set aside.
• In a skillet set over medium heat, cook the bacon, stirring, until it is browned and crisp. Add the walnuts and cook, stirring, until they are lightly toasted. Add the bread crumbs and cook for another minute. Remove from the heat and stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons of parsley. Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the squash in the gratin dish. Bake until the squash is very tender and the topping is browned, about 40 minutes. Allow to cool slightly before serving.

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.

Steps:

• With a small sharp knife or vegetable peeler, carefully peel the squash, removing the yellow skin and green layer underneath. (The skin is difficult to remove, and you will have to peel the squash twice if you are using a vegetable peeler.) Cut the squash in half lengthwise and remove the seeds. Cut in half lengthwise again; then cut crosswise into 1/2-inch slices.
• Put the squash slices in a large saucepan and cover with tepid tap water. Bring to a boil; reduce the heat and boil gently for 3 to 4 minutes, until tender. Drain in a colander and transfer to a gratin dish with the rest of the ingredients. Mix well.
• If squash is prepared in advance, reheat in a 425-degree oven for 15 minutes, until hot and lightly browned on top. Serve.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter 13x9x2-inch glass baking dish. Melt butter in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions; sauté until onions are light golden, about 8 minutes. Add squash; sauté 4 minutes. Sprinkle sugar, salt and pepper over vegetables; sauté until onions and squash begin to caramelize, about 5 minutes.
• Spread vegetable mixture in prepared dish. Pour chicken broth over. Cover tightly with foil and bake 45 minutes. (Squash mixture can be made 1 day ahead. Cool, then cover and refrigerate. Reheat in 350°F oven until heated through, about 10 minutes.)
• Increase oven temperature to 400°F. Mix breadcrumbs, cheese, rosemary and thyme in medium bowl. Sprinkle over gratin. Bake uncovered until top is golden brown and crisp, about 30 minutes.

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!
