🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated pecorino

Pecorino is often cheaper and adds a similar salty flavor.

Preheat the oven to 400°F.

Wash 4 medium yellow squash and slice them about 1/4 inch thick.

Chop 1/2 cup of onion.

Add the squash and onion to a large skillet with a fitted lid and add 1/2 cup of water.

Cover and cook over medium heat for 5 to 7 minutes or until the squash is tender.

Drain the squash and onions and transfer them to a large bowl.

Crush 35 Ritz crackers in a resealable plastic bag using a rolling pin and transfer the crumbs to a medium bowl.

Mix 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese into the cracker crumbs.

Add half of the crumb mixture to the squash and gently mix it in.

Crack 2 large eggs into a small bowl, add 3/4 cup of milk, and beat with a fork to blend.

Pour the egg and milk mixture into the squash mixture.

Melt 1/4 cup of butter and add it to the squash mixture, gently stirring to combine all ingredients.

Season the mixture with 1 teaspoon of salt and black pepper to taste.

Transfer the mixture to an 8 by 11 inch baking dish and spread it out evenly.

Sprinkle the remaining crumb mixture evenly over the top.

Dot the top with 2 tablespoons of butter.

Bake for about 25 minutes or until the casserole is heated through and the topping is lightly browned.

Serve warm and enjoy.
