There are as many spellings as there are islands and languages. A very versatile squash, easy to find in a Spanish market. Categories: Caribbean, Side Dish, Simple, Vegetable Ingredients CHAYOTE AU GRATIN (CRISTOFENE, CHRISTOPHENE) Serves 4 3 large chayote, peeled, cut into 1/2-inch slices 2 tablespoons butter for buttering ramekins 1/4 cup heavy cream 1/4 cup parmesan cheese, grated Salt and pepper to taste Directions Preheat oven to 400°. Boil chayote slices in salted boiling water until just tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain. (Cold water makes easier to handle slices and place in ramekins) Butter 4 ramekins. Divide chayote slices between ramekins, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and pour heavy cream in each. Sprinkle with cheese. Bake until bubbly and top is browned.

Yes Carol, that recipe is the super easy method. Kinda cheating, as it tastes even better if you make a true bιchamel sauce. Layering the cheese as you add the chayote slices would be good too. To me, it tastes kinda like a squash, but firmer? Mushier potatoes? Lol.... I don't know, add cheese and cream to anything, made by a French chef..and it's great! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/jester.gif" alt="" /> http://blog.syracuse.com/entertainment/2010/01/chayotes_make_a_fine_addition.html
