Butternut Squash and Leek Gratins

I had to use a casserole because I could not find the ramkin size that I wanted. this is yummy!!

LOVE this recipe. Thank goodness I found my printed copy, however, as if you search for butternut squash gratin, it does not show up. Only gets pulled up with butternut squash and leek. Must have had both on-hand when looking for a recipe. Will be making this for Thanksgiving!! YUMMY!!

This is delicious! Browning the leeks adds such a nice flavor to the butternut squash. I cooked up the squash and leeks the day before, assembling the gratins the day I served them. I skipped the parmesan crust this time, though I am sure it would make the presentation that much more attractive.

Kind of time-consuming, but not difficult. This was very "quiche-like," not usually what I think of as a gratin. If I make again, I might mash the squash with some milk to make it a little creamy and use fewer eggs, in an attempt to make it less "quiche-like." But it was tasty.
