Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Coat an 8x10 or similar casserole dish with nonstick spray. Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook until beginning to soften, about 5 minutes.
- Add the squash and 1 teaspoon of the salt. Cook, stirring often, until the squash is just tender and beginning to brown, about 10 minutes. Transfer mixture to a colander set over a bowl or in the sink (don't forget and turn on the water). Drain at least 5 minutes, then gently shake off as much liquid as you can.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, Greek yogurt, milk, black pepper, thyme, cayenne pepper, and remaining ½ teaspoon salt. Add the cheddar, Swiss, and squash mixture, then gently stir to combine. Transfer to the prepared baking dish and prod into an even layer.
- In a medium microwave-safe bowl, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons butter. Add the crackers and stir until evenly moistened. Sprinkle over the top of the casserole.
- Bake squash casserole until the filling is fully set at the edges and only a tiny bit liquidy when you check the center with a knife, about 30 to 35 minutes. Let rest 10 minutes, then enjoy hot.
