I grow squash and zucchini from early spring until first frost, so we make this quite often.

Steps

1

In a small bowl beat together eggs and milk. Set aside.
2

In a large skillet over medium heat, saute squash and onion in olive oil until it starts to get fork tender. Around 5-10 minutes. Add garlic during the last 2 minutes. Salt and pepper to your taste. Remove from heat.
3

Add egg mixture, cheese, butter,and ten crushed up Ritz crackers. Combine well. The residual heat should melt everything together. Pour into a buttered baking dish of your choice. I use a 9 " pie plate.
4

Crush up remaining Ritz crackers and sprinkle evenly over the top. Bake at 350°F for 30 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes and serve. Enjoy.

In my cover photo I used a mixture of yellow squash and zucchini. I would think butternut or acorn squash would work just as well. Even frozen squash from your grocer will work. I also use some bacon grease when I am sautéing the squash. You can't beat the extra smokey flavor it adds.
