  • Spread yellow squash mixture evenly in an 8-inch square baking pan.

  • Bake in the preheated oven until bubbly, about 15 minutes. Increase heat to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C) and continue baking until lightly browned, about 10 minutes.

Very good!! I did change a few things to use items I already had on hand. I doubled the cheese and did not have the blend so I used 1/2cup of mozzarella and 1/2 cup of cheddar. I used ritz seasoned crumbs didn't have the crackers. I used all yellow squash and instead of the shallot I used a yellow onion. I also added crumbs on the top for an extra crunch. It was delish!! Thanks for sharing your recipe!! Read More

delish! an absolute do-over. i just think you don't have to cook the zucchini on the stovetop for a full ten minutes if you prefer them more crisp. Read More

8.9.18 Nice side dish that I think would be good with other cheeses as well (swiss cheddar gruyere Monterey etc.). I did use the Mexican blend today and I will say that s a very subtle flavor in this gratin. Using a mandolin this was a snap to make and I will add some of those buttery crackers to the top of the gratin next time. Really good way to use up some of that abundance of summer squash. Thanks for sharing your recipe. Read More

I layered the squash, onions, green pepper and mushrooms (sautéed in olive oil) with turkey pepperoni, adding Italian shredded cheese with a coating of crumbled Ritz crackers. No milk. Baked for 20 min. plus 2 min. on Broil. Tasty. Read More
