What ingredients do you need for this recipe?

What other cheese could you use in a recipe?

We loved the crumbly, slightly melted goat cheese with the light flavor of the squash, and of course the feta would also be a good choice. I think gorgonzola cheese would also taste great with this. And if you switch it up a bit and soak the squash in it Cumin, lemon and olive oil sauceI think Queso Fresco or Cotija cheese would be delicious here.

Can you grill a pan patty without an external grill?

If you don’t have an outdoor grill, the grilled patty tray can easily be cooked on a Grill pan on stove with spurs (affiliate link) or file George Foreman Grill (continued link) with good results.

  1. The first photo shows a squash patty pan, straight from the garden.
  2. I like to pick them when they are no more than 4 inches wide, but some were a little larger than that.
  3. Cut a thin piece off the stem and flower end of each squash.
  4. Then cut each pie pan in half crosswise.
  5. Mix the ingredients to make the seasoning liquid.
  6. Place the squash pieces in a Ziploc bag or plastic bowl, add the seasoning liquid and leave on the counter for a few hours.
  7. When you’re ready to cook, heat the grill over medium-high heat and drain the squash into a colander.
  8. Place the squash pieces on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes, or until you see grill marks when lifted.
  9. Then I rotated the chops and cooked another 3-4 minutes on the same side to make cross marks. (These pictures are really a little different.)
  10. Then flip the zucchini and let it cook for another 3 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork.
  11. Place the cooked squash in a serving dish and season with salt and pepper.
