Ingredients

  • 6 tablespoons salted butter (divided)
  • 1 1/2 pounds yellow squash (cut into 1/4-inch discs)
  • 1 cup diced sweet onion
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt (divided)
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 3/4 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese (divided)
  • 1/2 cup shredded Swiss cheese (divided)
  • 1/2 cup shredded parmesan cheese (divided)
  • 1 large egg (lightly beaten)
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 32 buttery round crackers (crushed)

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease an 9"x9" pan or 2 quart baking dish with butter or cooking spray.

  2. 2

    Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced squash and chopped onion to the skillet. Season with 1 teaspoon of the salt. Cook until the squash is tender, about 10 minutes. Gently stir occasionally. Pour in a colander to drain any excess moisture.

  3. 3

    In a large bowl, combine sour cream, mayonnaise, 1/2 cup of the sharp cheddar cheese, half of the Swiss cheese, half of the Parmesan cheese, remaining salt, and black pepper.

  4. 4

    Fold the cooked squash and onions into the creamy mixture. Once combined, fold the whisked egg into the mixture. Pour into the prepared baking dish.

  5. 5

    Melt the remaining butter in a medium mixing bowl. Combine with crushed crackers and remaining cheeses. Evenly distribute on top of the squash base.

  6. 6

    Bake in the preheated oven 20-25 minutes, or until bubbly and golden brown.
