SAUTEED PATTY PAN SQUASH
Rarely can you find patty pan (aka scalloped) squash in the grocery store. However, many farmers markets have them. In Texas, it seems that every farmers market is overflowing with squash come June. However, if you can't find them, any summer squash will do. I also have made this recipe using yellow squash and zucchini and it was quite delicious. The freshness of the ingredients scream "summer".

GARLIC-HERB PATTYPAN SQUASH
The first time I grew a garden, I harvested summer squash and cooked it with garlic and herbs. Using pattypan squash is a creative twist. -Kaycee Mason, Siloam Springs, Arkansas

MOMOSITA'S SCALLOP SQUASH (PATTY PAN) GRATIN
This is a wonderful way to use your CSA veggies or abundance of home garden veggies. My 10 month old gobbles this up faster than anything! Alternatively you can use Italian breadcrumbs and omit the oregano and basil. Enjoy!

MOM'S STUFFED PATTYPAN SQUASH
This is my favorite of our family recipes. I've listed it as my mom always made, but I love to play with it. On Mexican night, I'll add a pinch of cumin or chili powder and use a Mexican cheese like Queso Ranchero. On Italian night, I'll add a pinch of Italian seasoning and use mozzerella cheese.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Place pattipans in boiling water and cook until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- Make white sauce with butter, flour, salt and milk. (On medium heat, melt butter, stir in flour and brown slightly, add salt, then add milk a little at a time, stirring constantly. (I usually use a about a third more milk than written above.) Once all milk is added, continue to cook and stir for a minute or two.
- Turn off heat, add cheese and crushed saltines to white sauce and stir.
- Scoop out the middle of each pattipan to make little "bowls". (I use my grapefruit knife.) Turn the pattipans over on a plate (so the juices drain out) and set aside.
- Add scooped out portion of squash to sauce and mash with a potato masher. Taste sauce and adjust seasonings as needed.
- Fill squash with the sauce, pouring the excess over the top.
- Bake for about 15 minutes, or until done.
- Note: If using table salt, use only a pinch rather than 1/8 t.
Tips:
- To make the perfect gratin, use a combination of hard and soft cheeses. This will create a creamy, flavorful sauce and a crispy, golden-brown crust.
- Don't overcook the vegetables. They should be tender but still have a slight crunch.
- If you're using frozen vegetables, be sure to thaw them completely before cooking. This will help prevent the gratin from becoming watery.
- Use a variety of herbs and spices to add flavor to the gratin. Some good options include thyme, rosemary, garlic, and paprika.
- Serve the gratin hot out of the oven. It's best enjoyed when it's bubbly and gooey.
Conclusion:
Scallop, squash, and pattypan gratin is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It's easy to make and can be customized to your liking. So next time you're looking for a hearty and satisfying meal, give this gratin a try!
