Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×9-inch casserole dish.
2. In a skillet over medium heat, sauté sliced squash and diced onion until just tender, about 5 minutes. Drain any excess moisture.
3. In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Stir in most of the shredded cheese and the cooked squash mixture.
4. Pour the squash mixture into the prepared casserole dish and spread evenly.
5. In a small bowl, combine breadcrumbs with melted butter. Sprinkle evenly over the top of the casserole, then top with remaining cheese.
6. Bake for 25–30 minutes, until bubbly around the edges and golden brown on top.
7. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
