Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups (sliced) yellow squash
- 1 cup (diced) onion
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 2 cloves (minced) garlic
- 2 large eggs
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.25 cup (grated) parmesan cheese
- 0.5 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons (chopped, optional for garnish) fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x9-inch or similar-size baking dish.
Slice the yellow squash into thin rounds and dice the onion. Mince the garlic cloves.
In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the sliced squash and onion, cooking for about 5-7 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic in the final minute, stirring until fragrant.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, sour cream, salt, and black pepper. Stir in the cheddar cheese and parmesan cheese.
Gently fold the cooked squash and onion mixture into the egg and cheese mixture to combine evenly.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
In a small bowl, mix the breadcrumbs with the remaining 2 tablespoons of melted butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly atop the squash mixture in the baking dish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbling.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley if desired before serving.
