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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x9-inch or similar-size baking dish.

Step 2

Slice the yellow squash into thin rounds and dice the onion. Mince the garlic cloves.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, sour cream, salt, and black pepper. Stir in the cheddar cheese and parmesan cheese.

Step 5

Gently fold the cooked squash and onion mixture into the egg and cheese mixture to combine evenly.

Step 6

Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbling.

Step 9

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