How to Make Cottage Cheese Crookneck Casserole

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Thinly slice 1 large onion.
  3. Halve and slice 2 medium crookneck squash lengthwise.
  4. In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add sliced squash, 8 oz of sliced cremini mushrooms, and sliced onions. Sauté until the squash is slightly tender, about 5-7 minutes.
  5. While vegetables are sautéing, in a medium bowl, whisk together 3 large eggs and 16 oz (2 cups) of cottage cheese.
  6. Add 2 minced cloves of garlic to the vegetables during the last minute of sautéing.
  7. Drain any excess liquid from the sautéed vegetables.
  8. In a greased 9x13 inch casserole dish, spread the vegetables evenly.
  9. Pour the cottage cheese mixture over the vegetables.
  10. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper (adjust seasonings to your taste).
  11. Top with 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese (or your preferred cheese).
  12. Lightly toss the mixture with a fork to combine.
  13. Bake uncovered for 30 minutes, or until golden brown and heated through.
