I was served this when I was a guest at someone's house as a teen. At the time I would have told you I didn't like squash but I enjoyed these! Ingredients:
4 medium summer squash (about 6 inches) or 4 medium zucchini (about 6 inches) |
1 small onion, finely chopped |
2 tablespoons butter or 2 tablespoons margarine |
1 cup diced cooked ham |
1/2 cup dry breadcrumbs |
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese |
1/2 cup shredded parmesan cheese, divided |
1 egg, beaten |
1 teaspoon paprika |
1/4 teaspoon pepper |
Directions:
1. Cut squash in half lengthwise; scoop out pulp, leaving a 3/8-inch shell.
2. Chop pulp and set aside.
3. In a large saucepan, cook shells in boiling water for 4-5 minutes.
4. Drain and set aside.
5. In another saucepan, sauté onion in butter until tender; remove from the heat.
6. Add ham, bread crumbs, cheddar cheese, 1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese, egg, paprika, pepper and squash pulp; mix well.
7. Spoon into shells.
8. Place on a lightly greased baking sheet. Sprinkle with remaining Parmesan cheese.
9. Bake at 425°F for 12-15 minutes or until heated through.
