We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Cover pattypans with water in sauce pan, cover and bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer 10 minutes or until tender. Drain and set aside. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

  • Step 2: For white sauce, heat butter in heavy saucepan over medium-high heat. Whisk in flour, salt and pepper, cooking a few minutes until flour is slightly golden. Whisk in milk, a little at a time and cook until it starts to thicken. Remove from heat, stir in cheese and crushed saltines.

  • Step 3: Scoop out top and middle of pattypans. I use a grapefruit knife. Turn pattypans over on a plate so juices drain out, set aside. Add scooped out portion of squash to sauce and smash with a potato masher. Taste sauce and adjust seasonings as needed.

  • Step 4: Fill squash with sauce, pouring excess over top. Sprinkle a little nutmeg on top and bake 15 minutes or until done.
