Butternut Squash, Mushroom and Goat Cheese Crumble

This cozy butternut squash, mushroom and goat cheese crumble with rosemary makes for an easy family meal. Easy to prepare, it’s loaded with warm and comforting flavors. I bet you will ask for seconds!

It’s this time of the year again. We love these cozy and hearty family meals prepared with seasonal ingredients. Featuring both butternut squash and mushrooms, this savory crumble will warm you up from the inside and is guaranteed to wow your guests either for Thanksgiving dinner or for a simple weeknight meal.

Alongside with quiches and other casseroles, savory crumbles count among my favorite dishes to prepare. They’re very popular in France, a little bit less in North America when they come in a savory version. Let’s give it a try together, and see how easy it is to make this savory crumble topping with walnuts and rosemary. The result is crunchy, with a subtle and refreshing rosemary flavor that contrasts with the soft roasted butternut squash and mushroom casserole coated with fresh goat cheese. Pair with a glass of white wine to make it even more festive!

Butternut squash crumble ingredients

This butternut squash recipe comes in 2 parts: one one side you have the butternut squash and mushroom casserole, on the other side the savory crumble part.

For the casserole ingredients you will need:

• Butternut squash. Choose it small, as you need about 1.4 lbs (650g) butternut once peeled, cored and diced.
• Cremini mushrooms. Any other mushrooms would do too. Think about shiitake or oyster mushrooms for a luxury version of this crumble.
• Goat cheese. Use fresh goat cheese for this recipe. Fresh can also be a great alternative. And if you are adept to strong flavors, you can also try this recipe with blue cheese. Delicious!
• Garlic, olive oil, and seasoning. Don’t forget to taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

For the savory rosemary crumble:

• Walnuts. We use them crushed, in the crumble dough. If you runs out of walnuts, you can use pecans, hazelnuts or even almonds!
• Rosemary. Don’t omit it, it brings all the subtle and refreshing flavors to the recipe. Alternatively, you could replace with fresh thyme.
• All-purpose flour. I also tried with whole wheat flour and a mix of 50% all-purpose flour and 50% whole wheat flour. All versions work great!
• Parmesan cheese. Alternatively you can use Comte cheese or any other hard cheese of choice.
• Butter. You need butter for the crumble. Use it preferably unsalted and softened at room temperature.

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and grease a 9×13-inch (23×33 cm) baking dish with olive oil.

5. Spread the crumbly mixture over vegetables and bake for about 30 minutes, or until vegetables are cooked through and the topping is slightly golden brown. Serve warm or lukewarm, with a side of lettuce.
