Squash, Egg, and Cheese Casserole image

A friend cooked us a similar dish and I was never able to get the original recipe. After a few years of trying, we've come up with this version and we like it even better than the first! A great way to get non-veggie lovers to indulge!

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
3 summer squash, sliced
1 small onion, diced
4 eggs, beaten
2 tablespoons milk
3 cups shredded Cheddar cheese, divided
2 tablespoons white sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

I would definitely make this casserole again, but I would make a few changes. I would add some more vegetables, like chopped spinach or mushrooms, and I would use a different type of cheese, like cheddar or mozzarella.

Overall, this is a good recipe for a basic squash, egg, and cheese casserole. It's easy to make and it's a good way to use up leftover squash.

This recipe is a great starting point, but I would recommend making some changes to suit your own taste. For example, you could add some diced bell peppers or onions, or you could use a different type of cheese.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my casserole turned out really dry. I think I might have overcooked it.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my casserole didn't turn out as well as I hoped. The squash was too watery and the casserole was overall too mushy.

This casserole is a bit bland for my taste. I would recommend adding some more herbs and spices.

I made a few changes to the recipe, but the casserole still turned out great. I used zucchini instead of squash and I added some chopped spinach. It was a delicious and healthy breakfast.

This casserole was a hit with my family! The squash added a nice sweetness and the eggs and cheese made it nice and fluffy. I will definitely be making this again.
