Autumn Casserole

This autumn casserole is a hearty, warming, deep-dish meal from a local chef (otherwise known as my husband). It’s brilliant for breakfast with fresh pressed coffee, or satisfying for supper with a loaf of crusty bread and a brimming mug of apple cider. Our apologies for the lack of photography–we keep eating our recipes before we have time to capture them on film.

Total Time 1 hour 30 minutes
Servings 4 people

Ingredients

  • 1/2 spaghetti squash
  • 2 russet potatoes sliced
  • 1 carrot chopped
  • 4 eggs
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 1 tsp dried rosemary
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • olive oil
  • butter
  • Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Cut a whole squash in half lengthwise. Scoop out the seeds from one half and place squash flat-side down in a baking dish. Bake in the oven at 375 for 40 minutes, or until the inner flesh shreds easily with a fork. You can refrigerate the other half or bake ahead for future recipes.

  2. Meanwhile, slice the potatoes and cook lightly in a frying pan. When the squash is finished, scoop the flesh into a bowl and add the potatoes, chopped carrot, eggs, and spices to taste.

  3. Pour a little olive oil into a baking dish until it coats the bottom. Spread in vegetable mixture, dot with butter, and add a generous layer of grated Parmesan over all. Bake at 375 for about 30 minutes, until the eggs are set and the top is toasted.

Recipe Notes

  • If the cheese is browning too quickly, cover dish with foil.
  • This recipe lends itself well to make-ahead; it's not labor-intensive, but the two baking steps will take time.
