Servings: 1 serving
Ingredients
- 4 cups yellow squash or zucchini, sliced or diced
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 ½ teaspoon fresh thyme
- 1 cup fat-free shredded cheddar cheese
- ¼ cup Parmesan
- 1 tsp Lemon zest
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- ¾ cup fat free milk
- 1 cup whole wheat panko breadcrumbs

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly coat a baking dish with cooking spray.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add in your olive oil. Add sliced onions and cook until caramelized, about 8-10 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
- Add the sliced yellow squash to the skillet. Season with salt, pepper, and dried thyme. Cook until the squash is tender but not mushy, about 5-7 minutes.
- In a large bowl, combine the cooked squash mixture, fat-free shredded cheddar cheese, whisked eggs, and fat-free milk. Mix until well combined.
- Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
- Sprinkle the breadcrumbs and parmesan evenly over the squash mixture.
- Lightly spray the top with cooking spray to help the breadcrumbs crisp up during baking.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the casserole is golden brown and bubbly.
- Allow the casserole to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy this delightful Weight Watchers-friendly Yellow Squash Casserole as a side dish or a main course.
