Southern Summer Squash I Made It

Southern Summer Squash

Recipe by Chefmeow: Southern Summer Squash/saved
Doubled the recipe and it fit into a 7x11 casserole dish with plenty of room.
It set up nicely but was a soft set which held its shape and no liquid in the bottom of the casserole.
Never mashed up the squash before. I was thinking mashed potatoes as I was mashing.
Believe there is an instruction line missing which tells how to divide up the bread crumbs.
Baked up to a very light brown in the bake time. Since I doubled the recipe it probably could have used a few more minutes to brown up more.
Needs salt and pepper to bring out more character.
Being frugal at this time of the month I used the whole egg.

That is an interesting recipe. I agree about the salt and pepper. Squash needs salt and pepper! I would use the whole egg as well. I hate throwing out any part of an egg.
What did you end up doing with the breadcrumbs?
I really love the picture. It looks so fluffy!

Looks a lot like a soufle. Mixed a half cup of ritz cracker crumbs into the casserole and sprinkled a couple of tablespoons onto the top. Didn't have the bread crumbs and have made squash casserole before with ritz. So that's another sub.

I would definitely love this. Family probably not, even though the Mr likes squash, I don't think he would go for the souffle texture. Anytime I have to use half an egg or just the whites/yolks I just scramble up the rest for the little one for a quick snack...he loves eggs!

I was wondering how this was. Great picture! I made a squash casserole recently that is similar. No cracker crumb topping tho.
