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.

QUINOA & BUTTERNUT SQUASH GRATIN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400.
• Spray a 2-quart dish with nonstick cooking spray.
• Peel and cube the butternut squash, then put in a microwave safe bowl.
• Microwave on high for 3-5 minutes until squash is soft and tender.
• Wash the quinoa in a fine sieve thoroughly (about 5 minutes) until water runs clear. This is very important, as quinoa has a bitter protective coating that can linger even after processing.
• Transfer squash and quinoa to a large pot. Add water and salt to pot and bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and allow to simmer for 15 minutes or until liquid is absorbed and the quinoa blooms into little spirals.
• Remove from heat and let rest.
• Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoons olive oil over medium heat in a small frying pan.
• Add shallots and cook 3 minutes.
• Add garlic and cook a minute or two longer, being careful not to let garlic burn.
• Pour over quinoa and squash mixture, mixing thoroughly.
• Add eggs, 3/4 cup of the cheese, and salt and pepper to taste.
• Transfer to prepared baking dish.
• Sprinkle remaining cheese and bread crumbs over gratin.
• Drizzle remaining 1 tablespoons of olive oil on top and bake for 35-45 minutes or until top is golden brown.
