Ingredients

• 2 eggs
• ½ cup butter
• 1 tablespoon white sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
• ¼ cup bread crumbs
• ½ onion, diced
• 1 pound zucchini, sliced
• ½ cup biscuit baking mix (such as Bisquick®)
• 1 pound yellow squash, sliced
• 10 saltine crackers, or as needed, crushed

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).

Step 2

Fill a large pot with water and bring to a rolling boil. Add yellow squash, zucchini, and onion; bring back to a boil, and cook vegetables until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and transfer vegetables to a large bowl.

Step 3

Mix Cheddar cheese, baking mix, butter, eggs, sugar, and salt with the cooked vegetables using a large spoon; stir until butter has melted and baking mix has dissolved. Fold crushed crackers into the mixture until the liquid has been absorbed. Pour mixture into a 1 1/2-quart casserole dish; top with bread crumbs.

Step 4

Bake in the preheated oven until topping is lightly browned and cheese is melted, 30 minutes.
