Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 2 & ½ lbs yellow squashed sliced
- 1 cup onion chopped
- 8 oz. sour cream
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 1&2 cups cheddar cheese shredded
- ½ cup Parmesan Cheese grated
- 1 large egg
- 1 leeve Ritz crackers crushed, but not completely pulverised
- 2 tablespoon unsalted butter melted
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 350°F. Lightly spray a 12-inch cast iron skillet or a 9"x9" casserole dish with cooking spray.
- In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the sliced squash and onion and cook, stirring occassionally, until the vegetables have softened, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and transfer to a colandar in the sink to drain.
- In a large mixing bowl, stir together the sour cream, mayonnaise, salt, pepper, cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, and egg. Carfeully fold in the cooked squash mixture. Transfer to the prepared baking vessel.
- In a separate medium bowl, use a fork to stir together the crushed crackers with the melted butter. Sprinkle the mixture all over the top of the casserole.
- Bake for 25 minutes, uncovered, until bubbly and topping is starting to brown slightly. Remove and serve at once.
Notes
- Be sure to slice the squash in uniform cuts. ¼-inch slices are a good thickness. A mandolin ensures even slicing, but a sharp knife and a steady hand will work just fine.
- Don't over sauté the squash and onion. Cook until just soft. The vegetables will cook more once the casserole is in the oven.
- The casserole can be assembled up to a day in advance and stored in the refrigerator. Allow to come to room temperature before baking (about 1 hour on the counter), or add an additional 10 minutes to the bake time if no time for bringing to room temperature (total bake time will be 35 minutes).
- This casserole is best served hot!
