Creamy zucchini and yellow squash gratin with cheesy, crispy topping.
Ingredients:
  • 6 buttery crackers
  • 1 tablespoon cornmeal
  • 1 shallot, thinly sliced
  • 2 yellow squash, sliced 1/4-inch thick
  • 2 zucchini, sliced 1/4-inch thick
  • 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 pinch salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 0.5 cup 2% milk
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 0.5 cup shredded Mexican cheese blend
Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to a toasty 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
  • Combine buttery crackers and cornmeal in a sealed plastic bag, then crush into fine crumbs.
  • In a large skillet over medium heat, sauté shallot in olive oil until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add yellow squash and zucchini and season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook until softened, about 10 minutes.
  • Combine the milk and butter in the skillet, then raise the heat to medium-high and cook until the butter is melted, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the crumb mixture and Mexican cheese blend, then remove from heat.
  • Evenly distribute the yellow squash mixture in an 8-inch square baking pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until bubbly for about 15 minutes, then increase the heat to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C) and continue baking until lightly browned for about 10 minutes.
