Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Put a large colander inside a large bowl.
- Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add a third of the squash to the skillet, arrange in a single layer and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cook, tossing occasionally, until the squash begins to soften and are golden brown spots, about 5 minutes. Transfer to the colander. Repeat 2 more times using 2 tablespoons of butter for each batch and sprinkling with 1/2 teaspoon salt and few grinds of pepper. Transfer each batch to the colander.
- Add 1 tablespoon butter to the skillet along with the pepper and onion and cook, stirring occasionally scraping up any brown bits, until the vegetables are soft, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Let cool for 5 minutes then fold into the squash. Transfer the mixture to a 2-quart casserole dish.
- Whisk together the sour cream, eggs, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a large bowl. Fold in the Cheddar, thyme and chives. Pour over the squash making sure that some of the mixture sinks down to the bottom.
- Microwave the remaining tablespoon of butter in a medium bowl until melted. Fold in the crackers and hot sauce. Sprinkle evenly over the squash. Bake until the eggs are cooked through and the crackers are golden brown, 30 to 35 minutes. Let sit for 10 minutes before serving.
SUMMER SQUASH CASSEROLE
"Why don't you just cook something that tastes really good?" Julia Reed's mother said that, chiding her daughter, a writer of uncommon style and wit who used to contribute food essays and recipes to The New York Times Magazine. Her mother thought Ms. Reed spent too much time thinking about complicated, over-the-top recipes at the expense of simple, honest American cooking that draws compliments not because it looks amazing, but because it's delicious. Like, for example, this recipe, for what Julia called in a 2002 article, "the best squash casserole on the planet Earth." The ingredients are by no means fancy - summer squash, jalapeño, white bread, Ritz crackers, eggs and Cheddar - but they combine in mysterious and marvelous ways to deliver a perfect accompaniment to grilled chicken or a weekend roast.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Brush an ovenproof casserole dish with oil.
- Bring a pot of water to a rolling boil over high heat. Place the yellow squash and onions in a steamer basket and set over the boiling water; steam until the squash is just tender. Repeat with the zucchini and steam until just tender. (You can also place all of the vegetables in a microwave-safe bowl and zap it until tender, about 4 minutes, depending on the strength of your microwave.) Transfer the vegetables to a large bowl.
- Heat the canola oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the flour and stir until very pale brown. Add the milk and whisk until smooth. Bring to a boil over high heat, then remove from the heat. Add 1 cup of the cheese and stir into the sauce. Taste and adjust for seasoning with salt and pepper.
- Pour the sauce over the squash and onions; stir to combine. Add the eggs, half of the breadcrumbs and the herbs and stir to combine. Transfer the mixture to the prepared casserole. Combine the remaining 1/2 cup breadcrumbs and 1/4 cup cheese and sprinkle on top of the squash mixture.
- Bake until firm and brown on top, 30 minutes. Remove to a rack to cool slightly before serving.

Tips:
- Choose fresh, young summer squash: Look for squash that is firm and has smooth, unblemished skin. Avoid squash that is too large or has blemishes, as it may be tough or bitter.
- Wash the squash thoroughly: Before cooking, scrub the squash under cold water to remove any dirt or debris.
- Cook the squash until tender: The squash should be cooked until it is tender but still holds its shape. Overcooking will make the squash mushy.
- Use a variety of nuts: This recipe calls for walnuts, but you can use any type of nuts that you like. Some other good options include pecans, almonds, or hazelnuts.
- Season the casserole to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a little heat.
- Serve the casserole hot or cold: This casserole can be served hot or cold. It is a great dish for a summer potluck or barbecue.
