Butternut Squash Sage And Blue Gratin Recipes

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 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 375F.
• Spray 11x7 1/2" baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
• Cut squash in half lengthwise; remove seeds and peel.
• Slice each half crosswise into 1/2" thick slices.
• Place squash in single layer at 45-degree angle in baking dish.
• (The squash will be tightly packed.) Drizzle squash with oil.
• Sprinkle with sage, salt and pepper.
• Cover with foil.
• Bake 40 minutes or until squash is tender.
• Remove from oven; remove foil.
• Sprinkle with blue cheese and Gruyère cheese.
• Return to oven; bake an additional 1 minute or until cheese is melted.

Steps:

• Peel the squash,cut into pieces and steam or boil until tender; mash with 1/2 T butter, there should be about 1 1/2 cups squash.
• Spread squash evenly into a small oiled casserole; sprinkle with cheese.
• Saute the onions in the remaining 1 T of butter until translucent; add bread crumbs, salt, pepper and sage and stir to combine.
• Sprinkle the bread crumb mixture over the cheese; bake at 325° for 25-30 minutes.

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:

• Position a rack in the center of the oven and heat to 350°F.
• Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the shallot and cook, stirring, until it softens and becomes translucent, about 30 seconds. Add the cream, thyme, 5 of the sage leaves, 2 teaspoons salt, and a few grinds of pepper and bring to a boil. Remove from the heat and let the sage infuse in the cream for 10 minutes. Then remove and discard the sage leaves.
• Generously butter an 8 by 8-inch baking dish and arrange one-third of the potatoes and one-third of the squash across the bottom, overlapping them slightly to make a relatively even layer. Pour one-third of the cream mixture over the potatoes and sprinkle with one-third of the cheese. Build 2 more layers in the same way; on the last layer, add the remaining potatoes and cream, then arrange the remaining 7 sage leaves decoratively over the top. Finally, sprinkle on the remaining cheese.
• Cover the dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Then remove the foil and continue baking until the top is golden and a skewer goes into the potatoes with no resistance, about 30 minutes longer.
• Let rest for about 10 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Melt butter in a 12-inch skillet over medium heat. Add butternut squash. Season with salt and pepper. Cook, tossing frequently, until squash is lightly browned, 5 to 6 minutes.
• Add 1/4 cup water, and reduce heat to a simmer. Cover, and cook until squash is fork-tender, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Toss with sage.
