Categories     side-dish

Time 1h30m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter
4 medium yellow squash, cut into 1/2-inch-thick rounds (about 2 1/2 pounds)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 green bell pepper, diced
Half medium onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup sour cream
4 large eggs
8 ounces shredded Cheddar (about 2 cups)
1/2 teaspoon thyme leaves (from 10 sprigs)
4 sprigs fresh chives, chopped
1 sleeve buttery crackers, such as Ritz (about 30 crackers), crushed
1/2 teaspoon hot sauce

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



Summer Squash Casserole image

"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.

Tips:

  • Choose the right squash: Look for small, tender summer squash with smooth, unblemished skin. Avoid squash that is too large or has blemishes, as it may be tough or bitter.
  • Prepare the squash properly: Wash the squash thoroughly and trim the ends. If the squash is large, cut it into 1-inch thick slices. If the squash is small, you can leave it whole.
  • Cook the squash over medium heat: This will help to prevent the squash from becoming mushy.
  • Add the sour cream and seasonings towards the end of cooking: This will help to prevent the sour cream from curdling.
  • Serve the squash immediately: Summer squash is best enjoyed fresh out of the pan. However, you can also store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Summer squash with sour cream is a quick, easy, and delicious side dish that is perfect for any summer meal. With its creamy, tangy sauce and tender-crisp squash, this dish is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a simple but flavorful side dish, give summer squash with sour cream a try. You won't be disappointed!
