Ingredients
8oz fresh mushrooms, quartered2 shallots, peeled and coarsely chopped1 1/2 tsp butter1 tbsp chopped parsely1/4 tsp pepper1 cup 1% milk2 tbsp AP Flour1 minced clove garlic (1 tsp)1/4 cup parmesan cheese1 oz gruyere, shredded1/8 tsp nutmeg1 2.5lb butternut squash, peeled, seeded, and cut into 1/8" thin slices
Directions
Pulse mushrooms in a food processor until finely chopped. Transfer to a bowl. Pulse shallots in processor until finely chopped; add to mushrooms

Melt butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and shallots, season with salt, and saute 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. The mushrooms will have released their liquid, which will then evaporate, and the shallots should be golden brown. Stir in parsley and pepper.

Preheat oven to 350* F. Coat a 9-inch deep dish pie or gratin dish with cooking spray.

Whisk milk and flour together in a cold saucepan, add garlic, and then heat over medium until the mixture simmers, whisking constantly. Simmer 2 minutes or until thickened enough to coat a spoon. Whisk in the nutmeg, parmesan cheese and half of the gruyere, then remove this sauce from direct heat.

Spread one third of the sliced squash in the bottom of the prepared pan. Top with ONE THIRD of the cheese sauce and HALF of the mushroom mixture. Repeat layers, ending with the cheese sauce. Sprinkle top with remaining gruyere.

Bake for 45 minutes, or until squash is tender and the cheese browned. Let sit 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!

    So this is not a strict vegetarian recipe? It is escalloped squash. I would have to add garlic or some more herbs. - 7/13/19

    This was amazing. Made it for some friends and they went back for seconds. I didn't layer it, but mixed it all together and cooked it covered to help speed up the cooking. - 9/23/10
