Butternut Squash Casserole with Streusel Topping
For the Casserole
For the Streusel
Prepare the casserole:
1
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil. Rub the butternut squash halves with the oil and place cut side down on the baking sheet. Roast 35-45 minutes or until fork tender.
2
When cool enough to handle, scoop out the butternut squash flesh and purée in a food processor until smooth. You'll end up with roughly 4 – 4 1/2 cups of purée.
3
Transfer the purée to a fine mesh sieve lined with cheesecloth placed over a bowl. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let stand in the refrigerator overnight to allow liquid to drain from the purée.
4
Preheat the oven 350 degrees F when you're ready to bake the casserole, and spray an 8×8" baking dish with cooking spray.
5
Beat the butternut squash, eggs, maple syrup, milk, butter, cinnamon, vanilla and salt until smooth, then pour into the prepared baking dish.
Prepare the streusel:
1
Combine the oats, flour, brown sugar, pecans, cinnamon and pinch of salt in medium bowl.
2
Cut in the cold butter in with a pastry blender, fork, or your fingers, until it's in pea-sized clumps.
3
Sprinkle the streusel evenly over the top of the butternut squash filling and bake at 350 degrees F for 45 minutes or until the streusel has browned and puffed up in the center.
4
Cool on a wire rack for about 10 minutes, then serve.

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Roast Your Own Squash 🎃Roast butternut squash halves at 400°F for 45 minutes until completely tender, then scoop and puree for silky texture and concentrated sweetness that surpasses canned alternatives.
- Toast the Streusel Components 🥜Lightly toast pecans and oats separately in a dry skillet for 2-3 minutes before mixing into the streusel topping to deepen their nutty flavor and prevent sogginess.
- Chill Before Baking 🧊Refrigerate the assembled casserole for at least 2 hours (or overnight) before baking to allow flavors to meld and help the streusel topping stay crispy rather than soggy.
- Temper Your Eggs Properly 🥚Slowly whisk warm squash puree into beaten eggs rather than pouring eggs directly into hot mixture to prevent scrambling and achieve a silky, custardy filling texture.
- Brown Your Butter for Richness 🧈Cook the butter for the streusel topping over medium heat until it turns golden brown with a nutty aroma (about 5 minutes), then cool slightly before mixing for elevated depth of flavor.
