Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced yellow squash and diced onion, cooking for 5-7 minutes until softened. Stir in the minced garlic, salt, and black pepper, cooking for an additional minute. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and shredded cheddar cheese. Mix until smooth. Add the eggs and mix until fully incorporated.

Step 4

Fold the cooked squash mixture into the cheese mixture, ensuring everything is evenly combined.

Step 5

Pour the squash mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.

Step 6

In a small bowl, combine the breadcrumbs and melted butter. Mix well and sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture over the top of the casserole.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the casserole is bubbling.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and let cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired.
