Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9 by 13-inch baking dish with 1/2 tablespoon butter.
- Heat the olive oil and the remaining 1 tablespoon butter in a medium pot over medium-high heat. Add the onions, salt, and black pepper and cook until the onions are soft, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the squash and zucchini and cook until tender, stirring occasionally, about 20 minutes. Stir in the thyme and remove from the heat. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the vegetables to the prepared baking dish, reserving the cooking liquid.
- Combine the eggs and cream in a medium bowl and whisk to blend. Gradually whisk the reserved cooking liquid into the egg mixture. When all the cooking liquid is incorporated, pour the mixture over the vegetables in the baking dish. Using a spoon, gently shift the vegetables around so the egg mixture is evenly distributed. Bake until the mixture sets, about 30 minutes. Remove from oven and sprinkle first with the crackers and then with the Parmesan, if using, and return to the oven. Bake until golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes.
GREEK STEWED GREEN BEANS AND YELLOW SQUASH WITH TOMATOES
Green beans are one of many vegetables that both Greek and Turkish cooks stew with abundant olive oil in dishes known as ladera. This recipe is inspired by one of them, but it's a far cry from the authentic version, which requires three times as much oil and simmers for a longer time. Don't be put off by the faded color of the beans; they're comforting and delicious.

Season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate.) Serve warm or at room temperature.
Tips:
- Choose fresh and tender vegetables: Look for green beans that are bright green and crisp, zucchini that is firm and smooth, and yellow squash that is deep yellow and free of blemishes.
- Prep your vegetables properly: Trim the ends of the green beans and cut them into 1-inch pieces. Cut the zucchini and yellow squash into 1/2-inch thick slices.
- Cook the vegetables until tender-crisp: You want the vegetables to be cooked through but still have a slight crunch to them. Overcooking will make them mushy.
- Season the vegetables well: Salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder are all great seasonings for green beans, zucchini, and yellow squash. You can also add other herbs and spices to taste, such as oregano, basil, thyme, or rosemary.
- Serve the vegetables hot or cold: Green beans, zucchini, and yellow squash can be served hot as a side dish or main course. They can also be served cold in salads or dips.
Conclusion:
Green beans, zucchini, and yellow squash are delicious and versatile vegetables that can be used in a variety of dishes. They are a great source of vitamins, minerals, and fiber. By following these tips, you can cook green beans, zucchini, and yellow squash perfectly every time.
