Best Pattypan Squash With Eggs Recipes

OVERSTUFFED PATTYPAN SQUASH

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 400 degrees F. Put a half sheet pan in the oven to heat for 15 minutes.
• Trim the woody ends and halve the squash crosswise. Scoop out the squash seeds, leaving a 1/2-inch shell. Reserve the flesh. Brush the cut sides of the squash with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil, and season with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper. Arrange the squash, cut side down, onto the preheated pan and roast until the squash is tender and the flesh side is browned, about 15 minutes. Transfer the squash to a serving platter and set aside.
• Meanwhile, finely chop the reserved squash flesh. Heat a 10-inch cast iron skillet over medium heat and add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. When the oil shimmers add the chopped squash, shallot, garlic, remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender and browned, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add the corn, limas, pecans, and thyme. Cook until heated through, approximately 1 minute. Divide the stuffing evenly among the cooked squash and serve immediately.

PATTYPAN SQUASH WITH EGGS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°. Cut tops (stem ends) off squash and reserve. Scoop out and discard insides of squash, leaving a shell at least 1/4 inches thick.
• Brush squash and tops with about 1 tablespoons olive oil, set on a baking sheet, and bake until tender when pierced with a fork, 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat remaining 1 tablespoons olive oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add onion and 3/4 teaspoons salt.
• Cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is soft, 3 to 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 30 seconds.
• Add thyme and cook, stirring, until combined.
• Set squash tops aside. Divide onion mixture evenly among the squash. Crack 1 egg into each squash, lifting out any white that doesn't fit. Sprinkle eggs with remaining salt.
• Bake until eggs are set, 15 to 20 minutes. Serve immediately, with tops replaced or set to the side.

PATTYPAN SQUASH PANCAKES

Steps:

• Stir chicken stock and eggs together in a bowl; whisk baking mix into egg mixture until wet. Stir squash, onion, Parmesan cheese, and garlic into baking mix-egg mixture until batter is evenly mixed. Set aside for 5 minutes.
• Heat oil in a large skillet to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Spoon batter, 1/4 cup per pancake, into the hot oil; cook until pancakes are golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer pancakes to a brown paper bag-lined surface to drain.

PATTYPAN SQUASH FRITTERS

Steps:

• Before shredding, cut out the stem of the squash, but there's no need to peel it.
• If the squash is large, more than 4 inches across, you may wish to cut out the bigger seeds.
• Preheat about 1/2 inch oil over medium-high heat in a deep skillet.
• Beat the eggs, milk and oil into the squash in a large bowl, then add the flour, baking powder and salt and mix until combined with a few strokes.
• Drop tablespoons of batter into hot oil-- in a big skillet, you can cook up to 8 at a time.
• Cook until brown, turn with a spatula and cook the other side until brown.
• Drain on newspaper or other suitable draining surface.
• Serve with horseradish sauce, ketchup or whatever catches your fancy.
