How to Make Squash Casserole

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400°F. Grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
Step 2

Place yellow squash, zucchini, onion and garlic in a large skillet over medium heat; add the water. Cover and cook until squash is tender, about 5 minutes. Drain well and transfer the squash mixture to a large bowl.
Step 3

In a medium bowl, mix together the bread crumbs, cheese, Italian seasoning and black pepper. Stir half of the bread crumb mixture into the squash mixture.
Step 4

Whisk together the eggs and milk in a small bowl; add to the squash mixture; stir to combine. In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter and 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add to the squash mixture; stir to combine. Transfer the mixture to the prepared casserole dish. Stir the remaining ½ tablespoon olive oil into the remaining bread crumb mixture and sprinkle over the top of the casserole.
Step 5

Bake in preheated oven until golden brown, about 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
Step 6

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week, or in the freezer for up to 1 month.
