Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

In a skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the sliced yellow squash and chopped onion, then sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of kosher salt. Cook until the squash is tender, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess liquid.

In a large bowl, combine the cooked squash and onion mixture with the remaining ingredients: eggs, sour cream, Cheddar cheese, Swiss cheese, mayonnaise, thyme, black pepper, and the remaining 1 teaspoon of kosher salt. Mix until well combined.

Transfer the mixture to a greased casserole dish.

Top with the crushed buttery crackers and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.

Dot the top with the remaining 4 tablespoons of butter, cut into small pieces.

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly.
