Serves: 3 - 6
Ingredients
6 whole
patty pan squash (or larger squash) stem & blossom removedd
6 slices
bacon, cooked and crumbled
1/2 cup
onion, diced
1 1/2 cups
soft breadcrumbs
1 clove
garlic, minced
1/4 cup
parmesan cheese
salt & pepper to taste
Step by Step Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°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. (I used larger squash so discarded the seeds - warning the squash is very liquidy in the center so I drained it a bit after scooping.
- Mince the reserved squash.
- Combine remaining ingredients in a bowl with the minced squash, mixing well.
- 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.
