How to Make Butternut Squash Sage And Mozzarella Gratin

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. Steam or boil the cubed butternut squash until tender (about 15-20 minutes).
  3. Mash the cooked squash with 1 tablespoon of butter until smooth. You should have approximately 1 1/2 cups of mashed squash.
  4. Lightly grease a small casserole dish (approximately 8x8 inches).
  5. Spread the mashed squash evenly in the prepared casserole dish.
  6. Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese evenly over the squash.

  8. Stir in the bread crumbs, salt, pepper, and sage. Cook for 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant.
  9. Sprinkle the bread crumb mixture evenly over the cheese.
  10. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the gratin is bubbly.
