Summer Squash Casserole

Ingredients

• 2 small yellow summer squash, sliced
• 1/4 onion, chopped
• 1/2 teaspoon salt, divided
• 1 egg
• 1/4 mayonnaise*
• 2 teaspoons sugar
• pepper to taste
• 1/4 shredded Cheddar cheese
• 2 tablespoons cornflakes, crushed
• 1 1/2 teaspoons butter, melted

Directions

In small saucepan, combine squash, onion and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cover with water. Bring to boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, 2 minutes or until squash is crisp-tender. Drain.
In bowl, beat egg, mayonnaise, sugar, pepper and remaining salt until blended. Stir in cheese and squash mixture. Transfer to greased 2 cup baking dish. Toss cornflakes and butter; sprinkle over top. Bake, uncovered at 350° 25 to 30 minutes or until golden brown and bubbly.

Onion and Cheddar cheese perk up the rich flavor of summer squash in this comforting casserole. A crispy cornflake-crumb topping adds a little crunch.
