Comments on: Menu Plan Monday: Early summer squash http://www.kitchengadgetgirl.com/2009/07/13/menu-plan-monday-early-summer-squash/ It started with a few kitchen tools. Now, it is all about the food Tue, 09 Mar 2010 15:31:10 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Vanessa http://www.kitchengadgetgirl.com/2009/07/13/menu-plan-monday-early-summer-squash/comment-page-1/#comment-2371 Vanessa Thu, 16 Jul 2009 15:05:55 +0000 http://www.kitchengadgetgirl.com/?p=769#comment-2371 Kind of halfway between a quiche and vegetable "lasgne", if you might! I usually take the squash out of the cooking liquid, but more forms in the oven and that is okay! You can also give it a try without the egg if you'd like, and certainly experiment with condiments and spices- I have a feeling nutmeg would be a good addition, and if you'd like to make a light bechamel sauce you won't need the eggs in the end... SO glad you like it, let me know how it turns out! Baci! V. Kind of halfway between a quiche and vegetable “lasgne”, if you might!

I have not actually tried one before. Should I remove moisture from the squash, or is that not a problem because of the eggs? I am going to try this very soon (I can see all the squash in my garden smiling at me!) :-) wow, this sounds great – is Sformata like a quiche or torta? I have not actually tried one before.

My husband hates them too, till I figured I could make a sformato- cut in thin slices, cook however you want (I microwave them with a lid on, for practicality), then in an oven-proof dish layer the squash, a bit of mozzarella cheese, a bit of Parmesan, and a bit of ham- then layer again (I only use one layer of ham), and squash again. In all I use about 1 cup of mozzarella and 1/2 cup of Parmesan. In a bowl, mix 2 eggs with salt and pepper to taste, add some milk and then soak the sformato you have just made. Finish off with sprinkle of Parmesan cheese and bread crumbs and put in the oven for 30 minutes or so. Yum! I have the perfect solution for summer squash and picky eaters!
