This is a wonderful way to use your CSA veggies or abundance of home garden veggies. My 10 month old gobbles this up faster than anything! Alternatively you can use Italian breadcrumbs and omit the oregano and basil. Enjoy!

12 small scallop squash
2 tablespoons butter
1 small onion, diced
1 garlic clove, minced
3/4 cup sweet corn
1/8 teaspoon paprika
1 pinch sugar
salt and pepper (I use garlic salt)
handful chopped cherry tomatoes (the sweeter, the better)
3/4 cup breadcrumbs
2 eggs
1/4 teaspoon oregano
1/4 teaspoon basil
1/4 cup parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Cut off tops of squash and use a melon baller or sharp teaspoon to scoop out the middle and reserve.
  • Boil the squash covered in 1 inch of water for 2 minutes.
  • Line the bottom of a small casserole dish with the squash bottoms and set aside the tops.
  • Melt the butter in a pan and saute the onion and garlic for 2 minutes. Add the corn and continue cooking until soft. Add salt, pepper, paprika and sugar.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the chopped tomatoes, breadcrumbs, eggs, oregano and basil.
  • Add the sauteed vegetables to the breadcrumb mixture. Mix gently and then spoon it over the tops of the squash (they will be overflowing).
  • Sprinkle the parmesan cheese over the top and replace the squash tops.
  • Bake for 30 minutes.

SAUTEED PATTY PAN SQUASH

Rarely can you find patty pan (aka scalloped) squash in the grocery store. However, many farmers markets have them. In Texas, it seems that every farmers market is overflowing with squash come June. However, if you can't find them, any summer squash will do. I also have made this recipe using yellow squash and zucchini and it was quite delicious. The freshness of the ingredients scream "summer".

Time 25m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
½ sweet yellow onion (such as Vidalia®), thinly sliced
4 patty pan squash, sliced to 1/2-inch-thick pieces
3 cloves garlic, crushed, or more to taste
1 dash lemon pepper
1 ½ cups packed fresh spinach
¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
½ lemon, juiced
1 ½ teaspoons grated Parmesan cheese
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Heat olive oil and butter in a skillet over medium-high heat until foaming, 1 to 2 minutes. Saute onion in the olive oil-butter until tender and translucent, about 3 minutes. Add squash and garlic; season with lemon pepper. Saute mixture until squash is easily pierced with a fork, 5 to 6 minutes.
  • Mix spinach, parsley, and basil into squash mixture; saute until spinach wilts, about 1 minute. Squeeze lemon juice over mixture and sprinkle in Parmesan cheese; stir well. Season mixture with salt and black pepper.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh, high-quality ingredients whenever possible.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different herbs and spices. A little bit of creativity can go a long way.
  • Be careful not to overcook the scallops. They should be cooked until they are just opaque in the center.
  • If you don't have a gratin dish, you can use a regular baking dish. Just make sure it's large enough to accommodate all of the ingredients.
  • Serve the gratin immediately, while it's still hot and bubbly.
