STUFFED SQUASH PARMESAN

 STUFFED SQUASH PARMESAN

INGREDIENTS: 2 SQUASH (I USED KABOCHA SINCE I NEVER HAD IT. ACORN OR BUTTERNUT WOULD ALSO WORK), 4 TBS BUTTER, 2/3 CUP ITALIAN BREAD CRUMBS, 1/2 CUP PARMESAN CHEESE, 2/3 CUP SHREDDED MEXICAN CHEESE, 1 EGG, 2/3 CUP HEAVY CREAM

BAKE THE SQUASH FOR ONE HOUR ON 325. LET COOL THEN CUT INTO QUARTERS. SCOOP OUT THE SEEDS AND DISCARD OR SAVE FOR ROASTING FOR A SALAD OR SNACK.

MEANWHILE, MELT THE BUTTER IN A SKILLET ON A MEDIUM LOW HEAT. ADD THE BREAD CRUMBS AND MIX UNTIL WET, ADD THE EGG AND MIX SO IT SCRAMBLES, TURN THE HEAT TO LOW AND ADD EVERYTHING ELSE AND CONTINUE TO COOK UNTIL CHEESE IS MELTED. IF IT SEEMS A LITTLE DRY, ADD MORE CREAM. SCOOP THE MIXTURE INTO THE SQUASH BOATS AND BAKE FOR 20 MINUTES AT 350.

IF YOUR SQUASH IS REALLY BIG, ADD MORE OF EACH INGREDIENT. I DIDN'T WANT A TON OF STUFFING, JUST ENOUGH TO GIVE IT LOTS OF FLAVOR.
