A method for preparing a baked, savory dish without a traditional pastry base that incorporates shredded summer squash as a primary component. The process typically involves combining eggs, dairy, cheese, and seasonings with the vegetable before baking the mixture until set.
This culinary approach offers a lighter alternative to standard fare, reducing carbohydrate intake and potentially increasing vegetable consumption. The absence of a crust simplifies preparation and caters to individuals with gluten sensitivities or those seeking lower-calorie meal options. Historically, dishes of this nature have provided a resourceful way to utilize seasonal produce.
