Instructions:
-
Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that your casserole will bake evenly to golden perfection.
-
Prepare Casserole Dish: Grease a casserole dish generously with butter. This prevents the casserole from sticking and adds a rich flavor.
-
Cook Squash: In a pot of boiling water, cook the yellow squash until it’s just tender. Once cooked, drain the squash well to remove any excess moisture.
-
Prepare Ingredients: While the squash is cooking, finely chop the onion and green pepper. Grate the Parmesan cheese and set aside.
-
Beat Eggs: In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs until they are well combined and slightly frothy.
-
Combine Ingredients: To the beaten eggs, add the cooked yellow squash, chopped onion, green pepper, mayonnaise, and grated Parmesan cheese. Gently fold everything together until all the ingredients are evenly distributed.
-
Assemble Casserole: Pour the mixture into the prepared casserole dish, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
-
Dot with Butter: Cut the butter into small pieces and scatter them over the top of the casserole. This adds richness and enhances the flavor as it melts into the dish.
-
Bake: Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the edges are bubbly.
-
Serve: Once baked to perfection, remove the casserole from the oven and allow it to cool slightly before serving. This savory dish pairs perfectly with a variety of main courses or makes a satisfying meal on its own.
