4 | Small | Summer squash |
2 | Tbsp. | Butter |
2 | Tbsp. | Onions, chopped |
1/2 | Tsp. | Salt |
1/4 | Tsp. | Paprika |
Dash nutmeg - plus some to sprinkle on top | ||
1 | Egg | Beaten |
1/2 | Cup | Bread crumbs - plus some to sprinkle on top |
1/2 | Cup | Grated cheese (your favorite) |
Preheat oven to 350degrees. Wash and cut the summer squash down the middle, either crosswise or horizontally. Scoop out the pulp - leaving 1/2-inch shell. Saute the pulp with the butter and chopped onion. Add spices and then stir in the beaten egg, bread crumbs and grated cheese. Fill the shells with the squash stuffing and place shells in a casserole dish. Next sprinkle a little nutmeg and bread crumbs on top and dot each squash with a little butter. Bake squashes until tender, about 20-25 minutes.
