• 2 cups shredded sharp Cheddar cheese, divided

• 8 yellow summer squash, thinly sliced
• 1 sleeve buttery round crackers (such as Ritz®), crushed, divided

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to a boil. Add squash and onion, cover, and steam until squash is tender and easily mashed with a fork, 10 to 15 minutes.

Step 2

Bake in the preheated oven until hot and bubbly and topping is golden brown, about 30 minutes.

Step 3

Gather all ingredients. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 1-quart casserole dish.

Step 4

Whisk egg and sour cream together in the prepared casserole dish; add squash, onions, 2/3 of the crackers, and 2/3 of the Cheddar cheese. Stir with a fork.

Step 5

Cover the squash mixture with remaining Cheddar cheese and crackers.
