How to Make Bibby S Yellow Squash Bake

  1. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and saute until softened, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add 3 medium yellow squash, sliced about 1/4 inch thick, to the skillet.
  3. Cover the skillet and cook over low heat for 10-15 minutes, or until the squash is tender.
  4. In a medium bowl, whisk together 3 large eggs, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  5. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  6. Gently combine the cooked squash and onion mixture with the egg mixture in the prepared baking dish.
  7. Sprinkle the top evenly with 1/2 cup bread crumbs (or crushed potato chips) and 1 tablespoon melted butter.
  8. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the casserole is set and lightly golden brown.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
