Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 6 servings

  • 6 buttery crackers

  • 1 tablespoon cornmeal

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 1 shallot, thinly sliced

  • 2 yellow squash, sliced 1/4-inch thick

  • 2 zucchini, sliced 1/4-inch thick

  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder

  • 1 pinch salt and ground black pepper to taste

  • ½ cup 2% milk

  • 2 tablespoons butter

  • ½ cup shredded Mexican cheese blend

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).

  2. Place buttery crackers and cornmeal in a plastic resealable bag; seal and pound into fine crumbs.

  3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add shallot; cook and stir until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add yellow squash and zucchini. Season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook until softened, about 10 minutes.

  4. Stir milk and butter into the skillet. Increase heat to medium-high; cook until butter is melted, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in crumb mixture and Mexican cheese blend. Remove from heat.

  5. Spread yellow squash mixture evenly in an 8-inch square baking pan.

  6. Bake in the preheated oven until bubbly, about 15 minutes. Increase heat to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C) and continue baking until lightly browned, about 10 minutes.
