Ingredients for Acorn Squash With Boursin Custard

  • 1 medium acorn squash (about 1.5 lbs)
  • Boursin Cheese
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 large egg

How to Make Acorn Squash With Boursin Custard

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Cut the acorn squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds and stringy pulp with a spoon.
  3. Place the squash halves cut-side down on a baking sheet.
  4. In a medium bowl, beat together the softened Boursin cheese, cream cheese, and egg until completely smooth and creamy.
  5. Fill each squash half generously with the cheese custard mixture.
  6. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the squash is tender and the custard is set and lightly golden brown. The internal temperature of the squash should reach 200°F (93°C).
  7. Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
