Butternut Squash Gratin With Rosemary Breadcrumbs image

I started making this recipe in 2000, when it first appeared in Bon Apetit Magazine. My family claims they won't let me come to Thanksgiving dinner unless I bring this with me! It is easy to make ahead and everyone is sure to love it.

I added a teaspoon of smoked paprika to the breadcrumb topping. It gave the gratin a nice smoky flavor.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I used panko breadcrumbs instead of almond flour. It turned out great!

The gratin was delicious, but it was a lot of work to make. I'm not sure if I would make it again.

The gratin was too watery. I think I should have cooked the squash for a little longer.

The gratin was a bit bland. I think it could have used more salt and pepper.

This gratin was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with less brown sugar.
