Categories     comfort food     side dish

Time 1h20m

Yield 8-10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 lb. yellow squash, cut into 1/4-inch thick slices
1 yellow onion, peeled and chopped
3 tbsp. olive oil
1 1/2 tsp. kosher salt
1 tsp. ground black pepper
2 large eggs
8 oz. sour cream
1/2 c. mayonnaise
8 oz. sharp cheddar cheese
1 tbsp. chopped fresh thyme leaves
3 tbsp. butter, melted, plus more for the pan
1 1/2 sleeves round butter crackers (such as Ritz), broken (about 3 cups)
1/4 c. Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400˚. Combine the squash and onion on a large tray. Drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with the salt and black pepper. Toss well to combine. Cook for 25 minutes, until the squash is slightly softened and has released its liquid. Drain the mixture through a colander. Press gently with paper towels to soak up any extra moisture. Let cool.
  • Reduce the oven temperature to 350˚. Place the eggs in a large bowl and whisk. Add the sour cream, mayonnaise, cheddar cheese, thyme and black pepper and stir together. Gently fold in the squash and onions (they can still be warm when you fold them in, just be sure they're not piping hot). Transfer the mixture to a lightly-greased three-quart baking dish. Cover and bake for 20 minutes.
  • In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, cracker pieces and parmesan cheese. Sprinkle in an even layer all over the top of the casserole.
  • Return to the oven for 25 to 30 minutes more, until the crackers are golden brown and the edges are bubbly. Let rest for 10 minutes before serving.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Main Dish Recipes     Casserole Recipes

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 pounds yellow squash, sliced into 1/2-inch-thick rounds
1 medium onion, diced
2 cups crushed buttery crackers, into coarse crumbs
2 tablespoons butter
Coarse salt and ground pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place squash in a large saucepan with onion. Add enough water to cover; bring to a simmer. Cover, and cook until squash is tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Drain, and mash slightly in a colander, pressing to remove as much liquid as possible; transfer to a large bowl.
  • Add 1/2 cup cracker crumbs and 1 tablespoon butter to squash. Season with coarse salt and ground pepper; mix well. Transfer to a shallow 8-inch square baking dish. Sprinkle with remaining crumbs; dot with remaining tablespoon butter. Bake until golden, 25 to 30 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, young yellow summer squash. This will ensure that your soufflé is tender and flavorful.
  • Grate the squash coarsely. This will help it to cook evenly in the soufflé.
  • Season the squash well. Salt and pepper are essential, but you can also add other herbs and spices to taste.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the soufflé tough.
  • Bake the soufflé immediately. This will help it to rise properly.
  • Serve the soufflé immediately. It will start to deflate as soon as it comes out of the oven.

Conclusion:

This yellow summer squash soufflé is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as an appetizer, main course, or side dish. It's also a great way to use up leftover squash. With its light and fluffy texture, this soufflé is sure to be a hit with your family and friends. Give it a try today!
