We still mourn the closing of Barclay Cafeteria in Charlotte, NC's Southpark Shopping Mall. This was one of their signature dishes and the local newspaper published the recipe in response to many requests when they closed. I make it frequently all year long but especially in summer squash season. It cooks up almost like a custard or souffle and is absolutely delicious. Ingredients:
2 lbs squash, sliced |
1 medium onion, chopped |
1/2 teaspoon salt, to taste |
1/4 teaspoon pepper, to taste |
8 ounces shredded american processed cheese, slices (kraft sharp american slices) |
1/4 cup butter or 1/4 cup margarine |
1/4 cup plain flour |
2 tablespoons sugar (some reviewers have suggested 2t so if you think 2t will be too sweet, adjust to your taste) or 2 tablespoons splenda sugar substitute |
2 eggs, beaten |
1 cup milk |
Directions:
1. Cook squash and onion, salted, in enough water to cover in saucepan until tender.
2. Drain well and mash.
3. Add cheese while still hot and stir until cheese melts.
4. Add butter.
5. Mix in flour, sugar and pepper.
6. Add eggs.
7. Stir in milk.
8. Pour into greased 9 x13 casserole.
9. Bake at 400 degrees for 45 minutes until center sets like egg custard.
