Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Place the squash, cut sides down, in a glass baking dish. Place the baking dish into the oven and pour enough water into the baking sheet to fill halfway up the sides (this will help steam the squash so it doesn't dry out, making the flesh easier to mash). Place the foil-wrapped garlic directly on an oven rack. Roast the garlic and squash until very tender, about 1 hour. Cool slightly.
- Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a heavy, small skillet over medium-high heat. Add the leeks and apple and saute until crisp tender, about 6 minutes. Season with salt, to taste.
- Scoop the cooled acorn squash flesh into a large bowl. Using a potato masher, mash the flesh until smooth. Unwrap the garlic and squeeze the roasted garlic flesh into the squash puree. Add the remaining 6 tablespoons of butter and mash. Stir in the thyme and season with salt, to taste. Place the mash in serving bowl and top with apple and leek saute.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375°F Using a sharp knife, cut the squash in half lengthwise. Using a sturdy spoon, scoop out the seeds and fibrous membranes.
- Rub squash halves lightly with half the oil and season with salt, pepper and a sprinkling of brown sugar. Place on a baking sheet. Use the remaining oil to coat the whole garlic bulb. Place it on the tray with the squash.
- Bake the squash for 30 minutes. Remove and cool to room temperature.
- Bake the garlic for an hour or until very soft. Remove and cool. Cut the garlic in half and squeeze out the soft cooked garlic into a bowl. Set aside.
- Meanwhile, in a sauce pan, bring the milk to a simmer. Whisk the eggs and garlic together. Gradually whisk the hot milk into the eggs. Season with the salt, pepper and nutmeg.
- Prepare a baking dish that will hold all four halves of squash. Pour one cup of water into the bottom. Cut a small sliver off the bottom of each squash to stabilize it in the baking dish.Place the squash in the baking dish, in the water.
- Pour enough egg mixture into the halved squash to fill the cavity to a half inch from the top. Bake for 50-60 minutes or until custard is firm. Remove from the oven and serve warm. Enjoy!
Tips:
- Choose the right squash: Look for acorn squash that are small to medium in size, with dark green skin and a deep orange or yellow interior. Avoid squash that have blemishes or soft spots.
- Roast the squash properly: To get perfectly roasted squash, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and roast the squash for 30-40 minutes, or until it is tender when pierced with a fork.
- Make sure the garlic butter is flavorful: Use a good quality butter and plenty of garlic. You can also add other herbs and spices to taste, such as rosemary, thyme, or sage.
- Don't overcook the burrata: Burrata is a delicate cheese that can easily become overcooked. When adding it to the roasted squash, place it on top and bake for just a few minutes, or until it is just melted.
