Shred zucchini and yellow squash using a shredder.

Place shredded zucchini and squash in a colander, sprinkle with salt, and let sit for 15 minutes to release moisture.

In a skillet, heat over medium heat and cook 1/2 pound of sausage until browned, then drain excess grease.

Add diced onion to the skillet and sauté until softened, then add garlic and sauté briefly before removing from heat.

Squeeze excess moisture from the zucchini and squash, then combine in a large bowl with onion and garlic.

Add 1 egg, 0.13 cup heavy cream, 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard, more than 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs, 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese, 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese, and seasonings to the bowl and mix well.

Transfer mixture to a greased 8x8 baking dish.

Top with additional cheddar cheese and cover with foil.

Bake at 375°F for 35 minutes, then remove foil and mix melted butter with panko breadcrumbs and sprinkle on top.

Broil for an additional 3 minutes to brown the top.
