This week’s Cook the Book Fridays recipe from David Lebovitz’ My Paris Kitchen is a wonderful way to welcome the fall and a perfect dish for the upcoming Canadian Thanksgiving weekend (um, how is it already Thanksgiving?). It’s like a big hug on a warm day PLUS you can make it ahead of time so it’s great for entertaining.
Squash, shallots, thyme and chicken stock are baked then topped with a crumble that’s just breadcrumbs, cornmeal, parmesan, sage, butter and an egg. This is baked again until it’s all lovely and crispy on the top.
It’s definitely surprising because it totally just LOOKS like a sweet crumble even until you bite into it! It’s going to be my new way of using up all the butternut squash I inevitably end up with over the next couple of months though – it is even better the next day and reheats (even in a microwave) so well, staying crispy. Totally not sure what the French would think about this but I loved it!

I love butternut squash and this looks delicious. Must make this one.
It’s really pretty good 🙂
Hubby loved this and requested that I make more of this type of food, for him!
It’s so delicious!
If you don’t tell, this can easily be mistaken as a peach crumble. Amazing! Good to know that it stays crispy after reheating.
Oh it totally looks like peach crumble!
This was so good! I think I’ll be taking it to all my holiday meals this year.
And it’s so easy AND it’s better the next day!
It is so yummy and filling too! I may add it to the thanksgiving meal, it would be a great addition to turkey.
Oh yes it would work well with a turkey meal for sure!
Hee hee, I loved that last line about not being sure what the French would think about it. Ah, well, it sure is good! Happy Thanksgiving tomorrow!
It really is delish! I’ll be making it again soon!
Happy Thanksgiving. We loved it. My DH thought it was from Dorie’s book since there is nothing French about this dish :0)
Interesting since Dorie’s book is, well, very French!
Your crumble looks delish! Glad to hear that you like it!
“It’s like a big hug on a warm day” — I love this comparison! Also loved this savory crumble. I’m already dreaming of variations for the cold season ahead. I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving!
Yes I’m wondering what other versions I can make too!
I thought you might be serving this on your Thanksgiving holiday. I plan to make it for our Thanksgiving in November. I hope you had a wonderful and delicious holiday.
It really is perfect for a Thanksgiving table. This post was due before our big day so it didn’t make it onto my menu this year but noted for next year!
Your crumble looks great. It was a winner at our house and will be perfect for the holiday.
I wish I would have had room/ time to make it again for Thanksgiving but it’s on my list for another holiday meal for sure!
