Butternut Squash Pear Kugelettes

Full disclosure: I am not a kugel kinda gal. Just give me some veggies to roast and I am a happy camper. That is, except for butternut squash kugel. When my ben bayis and his wife offer something for a meal, I always ask for a butternut squash kugel. I decided to add another element of flavor here and I think you’ll agree — even a non-kugel gal can be converted.

Yields 12 kugelettes

Notes:

To get the right amounts here, I took a small to medium sized butternut squash, sliced it down the middle, and removed the seeds. Then I peeled two pears and sliced them down the middle and cored the seeds and stem. I placed both, skin side down, in a pan with a shallow amount of water, covered the pan, and baked at 350°F (175°C) for one hour. I scraped the butternut squash so it got pureed, and I mashed the pears together. You can cook them using whatever method works best for you, just be sure the total yield is three cups.

Could use more flavor/texture These turned out okay, but I felt like they could have used more flavor and/or texture. I didn't have candied nuts on hand, but I did put some crumbled pecans on top. I think they would have been better if they had some kind of crunchy crust component built into the kugelettes. They were a little bland on their own, but they went really well alongside some melted brie and dried cranberries.
