Pastrami and Squash Gratin

This hearty gratin combines the savory flavor of pastrami with the sweetness of butternut squash, all topped with a crispy breadcrumb topping.

Ingredients - Serves 6

Preheat the oven to 375°F.
Toss the butternut squash cubes with the olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper. Spread out on a baking sheet and roast for 20 minutes, or until tender.
While the squash is roasting, cook the pastrami in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the roasted squash, crispy pastrami, heavy cream, and half of the Parmesan cheese. Stir until well combined.
Spread the squash and pastrami mixture into a baking dish. Top with the remaining Parmesan cheese and the breadcrumbs.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden and crispy.
