Equipment

  • Mixing bowl

Ingredients

  • 1 cup of diced onion finely chopped
  • 2 sleeves Ritz crackers biscuit crumbs
  • 6 cups of thinly sliced zucchini
  • 4 whisked eggs
  • 1/2 cup of clarified butter
  • 2 cups of shredded Gruyère cheese
  • Seasonings like smoked paprika and thyme for a unique touch
  • 1 1/2 cups of almond milk

Instructions

STEP 1

  • Preheat Your Oven To 350°F (175°C). Grease A Casserole Dish With Butter Or Cooking Spray.

STEP 2

  • In A Skillet Over Medium Heat, Sauté The Diced Onion Or Shallots Until They Turn Translucent. Add In The Sliced Yellow Squash Or Zucchini And Cook Until They Are Tender But Not Mushy. Season With Salt, Pepper, Smoked Paprika, And Thyme For Added Flavor.

STEP 3

  • In a mixing bowl, combine the beaten eggs, melted butter or clarified butter, grated cheddar or Gruyère cheese, and almond milk. Mix these ingredients thoroughly.

STEP 4

  • Add the cooked squash and onion mixture to the bowl with the egg and cheese mixture. Stir well until everything is evenly combined.

STEP 5

  • Pour half of this mixture into the greased casserole dish. Sprinkle a layer of crushed Ritz crackers or buttery biscuit crumbs over the mixture. Then, pour the remaining mixture on top.

STEP 6

  • Top the casserole with an additional layer of crushed Ritz crackers or biscuit crumbs for a crispy texture.

STEP 7

  • Place the casserole dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until the top turns golden brown and the casserole is set in the center.

STEP 8

  • Once done, remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

Here are a few tips to make the perfect Brenda Gantt Squash Casserole:
• If you prefer a crispier texture, top the casserole with extra Parmesan cheese before baking.
• For a creamier casserole, add 1/2 cup of sour cream or cream cheese to the mixture.
• To make the casserole spicier, add 1/4 teaspoon of red pepper flakes to the mixture.
• To make the casserole even creamier, add 1/2 cup of heavy cream to the mixture.
• For a heartier casserole, add 1 cup of cooked and crumbled bacon to the mixture.
