Here is a recipe for Cheddar Squash Bake that I found in an old recipe box. I bought 3 old boxes as an Estate Sale and the owners' kids were selling her entire collection of recipes for $1.00 a box. Yikes - anyway here is one of the recipes that I have had a chance to try. Yes I have lots of yellow squash now :)
Cheddar Squash Bake
2 pounds yellow crookneck zuccini (about 4)
1 c dairy sour cream
2 beaten yolks - eggs
2 T all purpose flour
2 stiffly beaten egg whites
1 1/2 c shredded cheddar cheese
4 sliced bacon drained (opt)
1/3 c fine dry bread crumbs
1 T butter melted.
Scrub squash - cut off ends. Do not peel. Slice to make 6 cups. Cook, covered in small amount of boiling salted water until tender, 15 - 20 minutes. Drain well. Sprinkle with salt. Reserve a few slices for garnish. Mix sour cream, egg yolks and flour, fold in egg whites. In a 12 x 7 x 2" casserole dish, layer half the squash, half the egg mixture, and half the cheese, sprinkle bacon on top. Repeat layers of squash, egg, cheese.
Combine crumbs and butter, sprinkle atop. Arrange reserved squash atop. Bake uncovered at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes. Top with bacon and parsley if desired
Serves 8 - 10
