Stuffed Sunburst Pattypan Squash

---

This is a mild and pretty side dish that can be made ahead, then popped into the oven when you're cooking dinner. Great with grilled chicken or steak. I usually plan 2 squash halves per person -- if they're not all eaten, more for me!!

---

Steps

---

Steam whole squash until tender.

---

Drain and cool.

---

Scoop out flesh , leaving about 1 / 4-1 / 2 inch border around the edges.

---

Measure 1 tablespoon of the bread crumbs and 2 tablespoons of the parmesan cheese.

---

Set aside.

---

Chop the squash flesh in a bowl.

---

Mix in the cream cheese , green onion , cream , swiss cheese and the remaining parmesan and bread crumbs.

---

Salt and pepper to taste.

---

Fill squash shells with the above mixture.

---

Top with the reserved bread crumbs and parmesan.

---

Refrigerate until ready to cook.

---

Bake at 350 f for 40 minutes , or until tops are brown.
