Green & Gold Casserole

I graduated from Spencer High School, home of the mighty Greenwave. Don’t ask me what that means – in all of my years there, I was never able to figure that out. Our mascot was an owl. BUT, our colors were green & gold. That was always cool, because my family is from Springfield, Oregon, a small town that is a sister-city to Eugene Oregon, home of the Oregon Ducks – whose colors are also green & gold. Which is what makes this casserole so much fun. I could take it to a class reunion or a football party and be a winner either way.

1 medium onion
2 TBS olive oil
1 pound zucchini (about 2 medium), grated
1 pound yellow squash (about 2 medium), grated
3 eggs
1 cup cracker crumbs
2 TBS fresh parsley, chopped
1½ tsp fresh oregano, chopped
1¼ tsp fresh ground pepper
½ tsp Kosher salt
1 cup grated Cheddar cheese

Beat the eggs.

Preheat the oven to 325° degrees F (165° C)

Heat the oil in the skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until soft.

Add the zucchini and squash to the onion and saute until much of the moisture disappears – about 15 minutes.

Remove from heat. Stir in eggs, cracker crumbs, and seasonings.
