I'm looking for that Butternut Squash recipe that Jean posted, but I can't find it using the search function.

Could someone help me out, please?

Here ya go Barb,
BUTTERNUT SQUASH AND LEEK GRATINS

1 butternut squash -- (2-pound) halved lengthwise and seeded
Cooking spray
1 teaspoon butter
4 cups finely chopped leek (about 6 large)
1 tablespoon sugar
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 Dash ground nutmeg
4 large eggs
1 large egg yolk
1/4 cup grated fresh Parmesan cheese -- (1 ounce)

Preheat oven to 375°.
Place squash halves, cut sides down, on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Bake at 375° for 45 minutes or until tender. Cool 30 minutes. Scoop out pulp, and mash with a potato masher or fork until smooth. (Note: or forget this method and just mash up your leftover squash and go on with recipe.)
Reduce oven temperature to 350°.

Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat; coat pan with cooking spray. Melt butter in pan. Add leek; cover and cook 20 minutes or until tender, stirring once. Reduce heat to medium-low; uncover and cook 10 minutes or until lightly browned, stirring occasionally. Cool slightly.

Combine sugar and next 5 ingredients (through egg yolk) in a large bowl, stirring with a whisk. Add squash and leek; stir until well combined. Divide the squash mixture evenly among 6 (6-ounce) ramekins or custard cups coated with cooking spray. Place ramekins in a 13 x 9-inch baking pan; add hot water to pan to a depth of 1 inch. Cover pan with foil; bake at 350° for 25 minutes. Uncover and cook an additional 15 minutes or until a knife inserted in center comes out clean. Remove from oven, and place the ramekins on a baking sheet.

Sprinkle 2 teaspoons Parmesan cheese over each ramekin.
Preheat broiler.
Broil gratins for 2 minutes or until cheese melts and begins to brown.

Believe it or not, I STILL have not made those!

Then there's these that I HAVE tried! The first is my all time favorite. The second is the most recent one she posted. Not as rich as the first, but a close second.

NOTES : Optional adds: toasted pine nuts

1-12-08 This was wonderful! I will use this often. Serve with lots of fresh cracked pepper. It is very rich and does not need to be used with a heavy entree. I will probably have it with just a salad next time, although it did compliment the roasted chicken stuffed with sage, rosemary, and thyme very well.

The ones that I make repeatedly, I type into Excel spreadsheets using a format we used at Wolfgang's. I love that format, and think it makes the procedures much easier to follow. Since I had posted that one somewhere else, before, I had already converted it to plain text (including drawing the "cell borders," myself, using plus signs, minus signs, etc.). Thus, the one I just posted was a transcribed representation of how my recipes look in Excel.
