Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium yellow squash
- 1.5 cups sweet corn kernels
- 1 small, chopped onion
- 2 cloves, minced garlic
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup bread crumbs
- 0.25 cup, grated parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish.
Thinly slice the yellow squash into rounds and set aside.
In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, cooking until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the sliced yellow squash and cook for 5-7 minutes until it begins to soften. Stir in the sweet corn and remove from heat.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the sour cream, eggs, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese.
Combine the sour cream mixture with the cooked squash and corn, stirring gently to evenly coat the vegetables.
Transfer the squash and corn mixture into the prepared casserole dish, spreading it out evenly.
In a small bowl, mix the bread crumbs, grated parmesan cheese, olive oil, and remaining 2 tablespoons of melted butter until the crumbs are evenly coated.
Sprinkle the bread crumb mixture evenly over the top of the casserole.
Bake uncovered in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven and let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your Corny Yellow Squash Casserole!
