This recipe reminds me of fall evenings at Grandma’s, where the kitchen smelled like roasted squash and herbs. She taught me that a little sage and cream could turn simple ingredients into something unforgettable. This gratin is warm, savory, and perfect for cozy nights or festive gatherings.
1 medium butternut squash, peeled and thinly sliced
1 cup heavy cream
½ cup grated Gruyère or Parmesan cheese
1 tbsp chopped fresh sage (or 1 tsp dried)
2 cloves garlic, minced
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tbsp butter
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Grease a baking dish with butter. Layer squash slices evenly.
In a bowl, mix cream, garlic, sage, salt, and pepper.
Pour mixture over the squash and top with cheese.
Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
Uncover and bake another 15–20 minutes until golden and bubbly.
Let rest 5 minutes before serving.
