Squash Corn Bread

Yield: 16 servings

  • 5 medium yellow summer squash, chopped
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 2 packages (8 ounces each) whole corn bread/muffin mix
  • 2 eggs
  • 5 egg whites
  • 2/3 cup reduced fat cottage cheese
  • 1/2 cup reduced fat cheddar cheese
  • 2 Tbsp minced garlic
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • Place squash and onion in shallow frying pan with about 1/2 an inch of water. Bring the water to boil, cover and steam for 3-5 minutes until tender. Drain and pat dry with paper towels. In a large bowl, combine corn bread mixes and eggs. Fold in squash, cheeses and pepper. Pour into an 8 inch square baking pan coated with cooking spray. Bake at 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick can be inserted into center and come out clean. Serve warm or cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack to cool completely. Cut into 16 squares.

    *Note: If you cannot find whole cornmeal, regular cornmeal can be used.
