Instructions
Prepare the topping
- Combine topping ingredients and set aside.
For the vegetables
- Preheat the oven to 450F.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat, and add the tablespoons of butter, and melt.
- Add the sliced squash to the pan, season with salt and pepper and sauté for 3 minutes.
- Add the chopped roasted garlic to the pan with the squash, stir together, and cook for 1 min.
- Pour the heavy cream into the pan, and stir together with the vegetables.
- Bring to a simmer, and cook for 2 mins, or until the cream has reduced slightly.
- Remove skillet from heat, and sprinkle the topping over the vegetables evenly.
- Place skillet in the oven, cook for 4 mins, then switch to broil – and cook until the top is golden brown.
- Remove skillet from oven, and let stand for 5-8 minutes, then serve.
- Devour.
Notes
- Use cream (no substitutes!) for the sauce.
- Do let it simmer gently, and don't worry about how liquid-y it still is when you put it in the oven. Magic will happen. Promise.
- Let it stand/rest after removing from the oven - this will help it to set, and be easy to scoop.
- Substitutions/Additions
- Any kind of squash can be used. I use both yellow squash and zucchini because they're super pretty when combined!
- Sub dried thyme in the gratin instead of fresh if you don't have it.
- Sub ritz crackers or another type of cracker crumbs mixed with melted butter if you don't have panko breadcrumbs.
