Ingredients

• 7 yellow squash sliced (more or less depending upon size of squash & number of people)
• 1/2 medium onion chopped
• 1 stick margarine
• 3 eggs
• 2 tablespoons sugar (I use more.)
• 10 crackers (or more) crumbled
• salt & pepper to taste
• 1/2 cup grated cheese (optional)

Directions

1. Put margarine in large sauce pan. Add thinly sliced squash, salt, pepper, onion and sugar. Do not add any water.

2. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally.

3. When tender, remove lid, turn on high to allow some of the liquid to evaporate.

4. Stir in 2-3 raw eggs. Add crackers until you have enough crackers to make the squash thick. Continue to cook on very low, stirring until you can see that the eggs are done.

5. TIP: My mother always hard boiled the eggs, dice and add to the squash instead of the raw eggs…each gives a slightly different but wonderful flavor.

6. Stir in optional cheese at last minute.

7. If you want to get fancy, you can scoop into a casserole dish and top with more cheese…place in oven just until cheese is melted on top.
