• 1 tablespoon canola oil, plus more for the dish
• 3 yellow squash, sliced 1/4 inch thick (about 1 pound)
• 1/2 sweet onion, chopped
• 4 zucchini squash, sliced 1/4 inch thick (about 1 pound)
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

• 1 1/4 cups grated Cheddar
• Coarse kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
• 1 cup panko breadcrumbs

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Brush an ovenproof casserole dish with oil.
2. Bring a pot of water to a rolling boil over high heat.
3. Place the yellow squash and onions in a steamer basket and set over the boiling water; steam until the squash is just tender.
4. Repeat with the zucchini and steam until just tender.
5. (You can also place all of the vegetables in a microwave-safe bowl and zap it until tender, about 4 minutes, depending on the strength of your microwave.)
6. Transfer the vegetables to a large bowl.
7. Heat the canola oil in a saucepan over medium heat.
8. Add the flour and stir until very pale brown.
9. Add the milk and whisk until smooth.
10. Bring to a boil over high heat, then remove from the heat.
11. Add 1 cup of the cheese and stir into the sauce.
12. Taste and adjust for seasoning with salt and pepper.
13. Pour the sauce over the squash and onions; stir to combine.
14. Add the eggs, half of the breadcrumbs and the herbs and stir to combine.
15. Transfer the mixture to the prepared casserole.
16. Combine the remaining 1/2 cup breadcrumbs and 1/4 cup cheese and sprinkle on top of the squash mixture.
17. Bake until firm and brown on top, 30 minutes.
18. Remove to a rack to cool slightly before serving.
