BUTTERNUT SQUASH WITH BACON BRÛLÉE

RECIPE TYPE

Holiday, Pork

SERVES

6 to 8

Prep Time: 5 min

Cook Time: 35 min

Ingredients

4 slices bacon

2 tbsp packed brown sugar

2 pkg (400g each) Longo’s Cubed Butternut Squash

1 cup Longo’s Chicken Broth

2 tbsp Longo’s Salted Butter

2 cloves garlic, minced

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 tsp each pepper and ground nutmeg

Directions

Lay bacon on rack on foil-lined baking sheet. Sprinkle slices evenly with brown sugar, pressing it in to adhere. Bake in preheated 375°F oven for 20 minutes or until caramelized and browned. Cool and chop finely.

Combine squash and broth in large skillet over medium heat. Bring to a boil; cover and cook for 15 minutes or until squash is fork tender.

Use a slotted spoon to transfer squash to food processor, reserving broth. Purée squash with butter, garlic, salt, pepper and nutmeg in food processor until smooth; add up to 2 tbsp reserved broth, if needed, for a creamy consistency.

Spread squash into a buttered 9-inch casserole or pie dish. Sprinkle evenly with bacon brûlée. 

Bake in a preheated 350°F oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until warmed through.

A Dash of Advice

Tip: Bacon can be omitted, and the top simply dotted with an extra 2 tbsp butter before baking, if desired. Make-ahead: Dish can be prepared without baking and stored in the refrigerator for up to two days.
