Momosita'S Scallop Squash (Patty Pan) Gratin
- 12 small scallop squash
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 small onion, diced
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 3/4 cup sweet corn
- 1/8 teaspoon paprika
- 1 pinch sugar
- salt and pepper (I use garlic salt)
- handful chopped cherry tomatoes (the sweeter, the better)
- 3/4 cup breadcrumbs
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 teaspoon oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon basil
- 1/4 cup parmesan cheese
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Cut off tops of squash and use a melon baller or sharp teaspoon to scoop out the middle and reserve.
- Boil the squash covered in 1 inch of water for 2 minutes.
- Line the bottom of a small casserole dish with the squash bottoms and set aside the tops.
- Melt the butter in a pan and saute the onion and garlic for 2 minutes. Add the corn and continue cooking until soft. Add salt, pepper, paprika and sugar.
- In a medium bowl, combine the chopped tomatoes, breadcrumbs, eggs, oregano and basil.
- Add the sauteed vegetables to the breadcrumb mixture. Mix gently and then spoon it over the tops of the squash (they will be overflowing).
- Sprinkle the parmesan cheese over the top and replace the squash tops.
- Bake for 30 minutes.
