Time 55m

Yield 5

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 teaspoons olive oil, divided
4 ounces Merguez sausage, casing removed
½ cup diced red bell pepper
2 ounces fresh goat cheese, crumbled
5 small round summer squashes, halved
salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon dry bread crumbs, or more as needed
2 teaspoons olive oil

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly coat it with 1 teaspoon olive oil.

  • Bake in the preheated oven until filling is golden and squash is tender, about 30 minutes.
