Ingredients
- 1 large butternut squash about 2 pounds, halved and seeded
- 3 tablespoons Creme Fraiche
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh sage
- Pinch of nutmeg
- salt to taste
- ½ cup shredded Parmesan cheese
- ¼ cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- A few twists of cracked black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400ºF.
- Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the squash cut-side-down on the baking sheet and bake for about 40 minutes, or until tender and easily pierced with a fork. Remove the squash from the oven and let it cool slightly. Maintain the oven temperature.
- Once the squash has cooled enough to touch, scoop the flesh into a large bowl. Use a potato masher to mash it to a smooth consistency. (If you prefer it completely pureed, use a food processor instead.) Stir in the creme fraiche, sage and nutmeg, then season to taste with salt. (If the squash isn't sweet, you can also add a touch of maple syrup or brown sugar at this point—some squash is sweeter than others.)
- Lightly spray a small baking dish with olive oil. Transfer the squash mixture to the baking dish, then top with the cheese. Stir together the panko, olive oil, black pepper and a pinch of salt in a small bowl, then sprinkle on top of the casserole in an even layer.
- Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for about 20 minutes, or until heated through and the panko topping is golden brown.
