Ingredients

2acorn squash(about1 1/2poundseach),halved and seeded

2tablespoonsextra-virgin olive oil

¾cupwhole milk

2large eggs, lightly beaten

1tablespoonfinely chopped shallot

1teaspoonminced garlic

⅔cupfinely grated Parmesan cheese, divided

¾teaspoonsalt, divided

½teaspoonground pepper, divided

1 ½cupsfresh whole-wheat sourdough breadcrumbs (see Tip)

2tablespoonsunsalted butter, melted

2tablespoonschopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

1tablespoonchopped fresh sage

1tablespoonchopped fresh rosemary

Directions

Preheat oven to 425°F with rack in upper third of oven. Line a large baking sheet with foil. Place squash halves, cut-side up, on the prepared baking sheet; brush with oil. Roast until tender, about 40 minutes. Let stand until cool enough to handle, about 10 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F.

Combine breadcrumbs, butter, parsley, sage, rosemary and the remaining 1/3 cup Parmesan and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture in an even layer over the squash mixture. Bake until set, 28 to 30 minutes. Switch oven to broil; broil the casserole until the topping is golden brown, 1 to 3 minutes.

To make ahead

Prepare casserole through Step 2 up to 2 days in advance; cover and refrigerate. When ready to serve, remove from refrigerator while oven preheats and proceed with Step 3.

Tip

To make fresh breadcrumbs, tear 2 1/2 oz. whole-wheat sourdough (or regular whole-wheat bread, about 2 slices) into large pieces and place in a food processor. Pulse until coarse crumbs form.

Nutrition Facts(per serving)

  • Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
