CHEESY SQUASH



Cheesy Squash image

I'm a retired police officer and now a deputy sheriff who loves to cook. But with my busy schedule, I must rely on speedy side dishes like this one. The squash retains its fresh taste and cooks to a perfect tender crispness. You can give this cheesy treatment to other fresh veggies, too. It's so quick that I make some variation of it a few times a week. Everyone loves it!

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 red onion, very thinly sliced
Juice of 1/2 lemon
Kosher salt
1 pound pizza dough, thawed if frozen
All-purpose flour, for dusting
2 large or 3 medium zucchini and/or yellow squash, sliced about 1/4 inch thick on an angle

1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon za'atar
1 1/2 cups shredded low-moisture mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat a grill to medium. Combine the red onion, lemon juice and a big pinch of salt in a medium bowl; toss well. Cut the pizza dough into 4 pieces.

Yield Makes 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

Nonstick vegetable oil spray
1 10-ounce tube refrigerated pizza dough
3/4 cup garlic-and-herb cheese spread (such as Alouette), divided
3/4 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese, divided
3 tablespoons chopped fresh Italian parsley, divided
1 small red onion
1 7- to 8-inch-long zucchini (yellow or green), cut crosswise into 1/8-inch-thick rounds, divided
Olive oil

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Line baking sheet with parchment paper; spray with nonstick spray. Unroll dough onto parchment. Spread half of herb cheese over 1 long half of dough, leaving 1/2-inch plain border. Sprinkle with half of Parmesan and 2 tablespoons parsley. Using parchment as aid, fold plain half of dough over filled half (do not seal edges). Spread remaining herb cheese over top; sprinkle with remaining Parmesan. Remove enough outer layers of onion to yield 2-inch-diameter core; cut into 1/8-inch-thick rounds. Arrange 1 row of zucchini down 1 long side of dough. Arrange onion rounds in row alongside zucchini. Arrange 1 more row of zucchini alongside onion. Brush vegetables with oil; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake bread until puffed and deep brown at edges, about 24 minutes. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon parsley.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh, ripe summer squash. Look for squash that is firm and has a deep green color.
  • If you don't have a grill, you can cook the flatbreads in a hot skillet over medium heat.
  • Be careful not to overcook the flatbreads, as they will become dry and tough.
  • Serve the flatbreads immediately, while they are still warm and crispy.
  • You can also top the flatbreads with other ingredients, such as cooked chicken, bacon, or vegetables.

Conclusion:
