MERRITT'S BUTTERNUT SQUASH GRATIN

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.

GRATIN OF BUTTERNUT SQUASH

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.
