Patty Pan Squash Bread Recipes

SAVORY HERB AND CHEDDAR SQUASH BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a regular size loaf pan and set aside.
• In a large bowl stir together the flour, baking powder, salt, baking soda and garlic powder. Add in the shredded squash, cheddar cheese, green onions and dill, stirring to fully combine.
• In a separate, smaller bowl, mix together the eggs, buttermilk and butter.
• Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mix in the large bowl and stir together until just combined.
• Spoon batter into loaf pan and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

STUFFED PATTYPAN SQUASH

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Bring one inch of water to a boil in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Add squash, cover, and cook for 10 minutes, or until a fork can pierce the stem with little resistance. Drain, and slice off the top stem of the squash. Use a melon baller to carefully scoop out the centers of the squash. Reserve all of the bits of squash.
• Place bacon in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium high heat until evenly brown. Remove bacon to paper towels, and set aside. Saute onion in bacon drippings. Chop the reserved squash pieces, and saute them with the onion for one minute.
• Remove the skillet from heat, and stir in the breadcrumbs. Crumble the bacon, and stir into the stuffing along with the Parmesan cheese. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Stuff each squash to overflowing with the mixture, and place them in a baking dish. Cover the dish loosely with aluminum foil.
• Bake for 15 minutes in the preheated oven, or until squash are heated through.

OVEN-ROASTED PATTY PAN SQUASH

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Cut squash into 1/2-inch wedges. Slice onion vertically into thin slices. Combine squash, onion, olive oil, coriander, salt, and pepper in a large bowl; toss to coat vegetables evenly in oil and seasonings. Spread out vegetables in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until squash is tender and slightly browned, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Combine melted butter, lemon juice, chives, and lemon zest in the same large bowl; toss cooked squash in butter mixture and serve hot.

SAUTEED PATTY PAN SQUASH

Steps:

• Heat olive oil and butter in a skillet over medium-high heat until foaming, 1 to 2 minutes. Saute onion in the olive oil-butter until tender and translucent, about 3 minutes. Add squash and garlic; season with lemon pepper. Saute mixture until squash is easily pierced with a fork, 5 to 6 minutes.
• Mix spinach, parsley, and basil into squash mixture; saute until spinach wilts, about 1 minute. Squeeze lemon juice over mixture and sprinkle in Parmesan cheese; stir well. Season mixture with salt and black pepper.
