Easy Baked Summer Squash
Photo Credit : Brenda DarrochOutstanding! This recipe for baked summer squash is a terrific way to get vegetables into the most reluctant veggie eaters. We put this to the ultimate test — a friend who hates vegetables — and even she liked it. Those who actually like vegetables love this. And it can be mixed a day ahead and stored in the refrigerator until you’re ready to bake it.
Yield:
6 servingsIngredients
3 pounds yellow squash or zucchini
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, melted
1/2 cup chopped onion
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 cup fresh bread crumbs
Instructions
Slice the squash. Boil or steam until tender. Drain, then mash. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
In a mixing bowl, combine the squash with half the melted butter, the onion, eggs, sugar, salt, and pepper. Spoon into a 2-quart casserole dish. Combine the bread crumbs with the remaining butter and sprinkle over the squash. Bake for about 45 minutes and serve hot.
