Instructions
- Cut up the squash into chunks (do not peel) and dice the onion (you'd better peel the onion).
- Cover with water, add salt& pepper to taste and boil just until tender - let's say about 15 minutes.
- Drain and mash, adding the butter after draining the zucchini, but while the zucchini is still hot enough to melt it.
- Mix one cup of the cheese and all the remaining ingredients with the mashed squash (If the zucchini is still extremely hot, you should mix a small amount of it into the beaten eggs, then add this along with the remaining ingredients).
- Pour into buttered oblong pan (about 10 inches by 13 inches) and top with remaining 1/2 cup cheddar cheese.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 30 to 40 minutes, or until center is set.
- Check it with a knife blade near the center.
- Does it come out clean? It should.
- I made this once with mild cheddar.
- Never again; it was very bland.
- Use sharp or even extra sharp cheese.
- NOTE: To address some of the reviews - this is not supposed to be "fluffy" or anything like a souffle; you do not have to press out every bit of liquid from the zucchini after cooking - just drain it really well and then mash; it *is* supposed to be somewhat like a custard and some folks think the texture is kind of like a vegetable quiche.
