I tried this recipe for baked squash recently and was very pleased with the results. If you are looking for a really pretty dish for a buffet this would be a good choice. When I made this I had more zucchini than yellow squash and it really didn’t matter because squash is pretty much a blank slate until you start adding your seasonings and cheese. I think I might even scatter some onion in the squash the next time I made this.

BAKED SQUASH
3 zucchini, sliced thin
2 yellow crookneck squash, sliced thin
1/2 cup cream
1 cup grated cheese, cheddar or Monterey Jack
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon or more chopped fresh parsley

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
Place uncooked zucchini and crookneck slices in prepared baking dish. (overlapped my slices.)
Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Pour cream over the squash and sprinkle with cheese and parsley.
Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes, until squash is tender.
