Butternut Squash Casserole

I think butternut squash has become one of my favorite vegetables. This is an excellent side dish for ham and turkey.
Ingredients
  • 4 cups butternut squash, peeled and cubed
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 large onion, roughly chopped
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 cup cream cheese, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup asiago cheese
  • 1 cup bread crumbs
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 400˚.
  2. Cube butternut squash in 1/2″ cubes. Toss with the onions,  olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast for 15-20 minutes or until tender. Remove and place in a large bowl. Reduce oven to 350˚.
  3. While squash cooks, whisk together cream cheese, egg, 1/4 cup parmesan, 1/2 cup of asiago, and 1/2 cup of bread crumbs. Once squash is done, fold cream cheese mixture with the squash and place in a small baking dish.
  4. Sprinkle remaining cheeses and breadcrumbs on top. Bake at 350˚ for 15-20 minutes or until cheese is melted. Serve hot.
