Butternut Squash and bacon bake

 

This one is dead easy and always gets rave reviews. You can change the filling to suit, but I like this one.

 

Two butternut squashes

8 rashers of free range British bacon

Carton of Creme Fraiche

Grated cheese or parmesan

Olive oil

Salt and pepper

 

Halve the squashes and scoop out the seeds (chickens love the seeds), score the squashes into the flesh, drizzle with olive oil, grate over some salt and pepper and bake in the oven for about 35 minutes, or until the flesh is soft.

 

While that is cooking, fry up the bacon, which has been cut into lardon sized bits, set aside

 

Scoop out the flesh, and mix up with the creme fraiche and bacon, return to the squash shells and top with grated cheese or parmesan before baking again for 15 or 20 minutes

 

This is totally delicious!

I do that one and confirm it's deeelicious .

Thanks for that - I have a squash looming in my pantry - I reckon I can adapt that to suit my Slimming World diet.

Sounds scrumdiddlyumptious.

That sounds really yummy, i love BNS.

So do we - good job, as we've harvested 30! I'll be trying this one

[bluekarin]

I shall also be doing that one as my MIL who is staying with us informed us she doesn't eat anything with starch in it i.e potatoes, pasta, rice! Slightly ruined some of the meals I had planned, but in a way a good thing as I can try something different. I have 3 marrows (none grown by me) which I was going to stuff with a spicy mince beef mixture and then with the rest of the mince do a pasta bake for the kids (they HATE marrow so they'll be happy)

I thought of you (and DS) when I made it.

[clootie]

On my list to try this week, yumska!

[The Dogmother]

Eating it out of the skins is a bit fiddly - I somethimes just scoop it out into an ovenproof dish

[Blackrocksrock]

Sounds wonderful - I have a huge one my friend gave me and its curing as I type - will use it next week.

[GEB]

This sounds sooo yummy! Do you have it on its own, or what do you serve with it?

[The Dogmother]

I eat it on it's own - it is very filling.

[Egluntyne]

I made this for the boy's supper tonight. They absolutely loved it and declared it 'restaurantworthy'.

 

Will deffo be on the menu again at Egluntyne Towers.

[The Dogmother]

That's high praise indeed Egluntyne!

I did this last night but had no creme fraiche so substituted some Boursin and yougurt - absolutely divine!! And my OH doesn't like squash. Any more like that Claret?

My last recipe was the paradise slice one, so not similar at all. Sorry

[ubereglu]

Ooh, sounds good. Do you think it would work with pumpkin?

[Lesley]

I'm sure it would

 

I've got the creme fraiche coming in the A&C order on Tuesday......

[clootie]

This is super delish !! We had it last night and I could eat this happily every night, all of it, just for me. Thanks for posting this recipe Claret. A regular in this house from now on.

[The Dogmother]

Thanks Clootie, it's very well received chez Chateau Claret too. Even young Rosie who is currently going through a 'vegetable aversion phase' loves it.

[Egluntyne]

It is just as nice if you replace the bacon with smoked salmon.

[C&T]

I made this last night - YUM!!

 

Used a little bit of bacon, but also added in wafer thin ham, as better for Weight Watchers diet.

 

Also, I was using up the remains of a squash, and it already had the top chopped off. So I used the bottom half, rather than slicing down the middle. This meant there was less room on top for any cheese - which also helped keep the calories down!!

 

A great low fat easy delicious recipe

[The Dogmother]

After the first baking of the squash, you can always hoik the innards out into a baking dish - that's what I do. It's far easier.

[Gem_Seb]

Im making this tonight how mush creme fraiche should i use? i only have a massive tub of it in the fridge!!

[Patricia W]

I'm just bumping this up again as it's another winter winner!
