Ingredients

  • yellow squash

    cut into 1/4-inch thick slices

    3 lb.
  • yellow onion

    peeled and chopped

    1
  • olive oil
    3 tbsp.
  • kosher salt
    1 ½ tsp.
  • ground black pepper
    1 tsp.
  • eggs
    2 large
  • sour cream
    8 oz.
  • mayonnaise
    ½ c.
  • sharp cheddar cheese
    8 oz.
  • chopped fresh thyme leaves
    1 tbsp.
  • butter

    melted, plus more for the pan

    3 tbsp.
  • sleeves round butter crackers

    broken, such as ritz

    1 ½
  • parmesan cheese
    ¼ c.

Directions

  1. 1

    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.

  2. 2

    Reduce the oven temperature to 350˚. Place the eggs in a large bowl and whisk. Add the sour cream, mayonnaise, cheddar cheese, and thyme 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.

  3. 3

    Combine the melted butter, cracker pieces, and parmesan cheese in a small bowl. Sprinkle in an even layer all over the top of the casserole.

  4. 4

    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. <br/>

The dish is incredibly rich and comforting, with the distinct crunch of buttery crackers providing a delightful textural contrast that will have everyone asking for seconds.

Customization & Variations

While this recipe shines with sharp cheddar, feel free to experiment with other cheeses like Monterey Jack or a Colby blend for a slightly different flavor profile. If you don't have fresh thyme, a pinch of dried thyme or even a dash of dried sage would complement the squash beautifully. For the topping, while butter crackers are classic, you could also try a different buttery, savory cracker or even crushed cornflakes if you're looking for a slightly different texture.

This Squash Casserole is truly the ultimate accompaniment to any summer cookout or Sunday lunch. Serve it warm straight from the oven, and watch it disappear.
