Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 450°F.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add zucchini, yellow squash, and onions. Season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are crisp-tender, about 4-6 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook for an additional minute.
- Pour in the cream cheese and cook until the mixture thickens, about 3-5 minutes.
- Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in ½ cup of ritz crackers and ¼ cup of cheese. Transfer the mixture into a greased 11x7-inch or 2-quart baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining crackers and cheese over the top.
- Bake until the dish is golden brown, approximately 8-10 minutes. Let the casserole rest for a few minutes after baking to help it set before serving.
Notes
- Send DataSend Data
- Slice the zucchini and summer squash evenly to ensure uniform cooking.
- Don’t overcook the vegetables in the skillet; they should be crisp-tender to avoid becoming mushy in the oven.
- Stir the cream cheese in thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Use freshly minced garlic for the best flavor, adding it just before the cream cheese to prevent burning.
- Mix some of the cracker crumbs and cheese into the casserole for extra texture and flavor throughout the dish.
- Keep an eye on the baking time; remove the casserole when the top is golden brown to avoid over-baking.
