Yellow Squash Casserole
Just 5 ingredients plus Salt and Pepper make this smooth, savory side dish. The first couple of times I attempted to make it, the Squash turned out hard, no matter how long I baked it. Then I discovered that you parboil the Squash and the Onion first, then add the other ingredients and stick it in the oven. Perfection!
Pre Heat Oven to 350° F
Servings: 4 Servings
Ingredients
- 4 Cups Yellow Squash 1/2 inch slices then chopped
- 1/3 Cup onion chopped
- 1 Cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese
- 1 Large Egg
- 1/2 Cup Heavy Cream substitute Half n Half
- 1/4 Tsp Salt
- 1/8 Tsp Pepper I use White Pepper but Black is fine
Instructions
- Slice and chop the Yellow Squash. Not too fine. You want some texture here. Chop the Onions. Place Squash and Onion in a saucepan and add about 1/3 Cup water. Bring to a boil and simmer about 5 minutes until barely tender. Drain off the water.
- Butter a casserole dish. I used this 10 inch pie plate. Pretty yes? Made by a local Artist
- Place Squash and Onion the casserole dish.
- Sprinkle with Salt and Pepper
- Spread the Cheddar Cheese evenly over the Squash
- Mix in the Cheese. The warm Squash is already melting it.
- Beat Egg with a fork then add in the Cream and stir to combine. Pour this over the Squash.
- Place in a pre-heated oven at 350° and bake for 30 minutes until golden brown.
