Chef's Notes
Do not rush the squash mashing phase. Yellow squash holds an immense amount of water, and treating it with respect in the colander is the singular barrier between a majestic casserole and a sad, watery soup.
Pro Tip
Crush your crackers inside a zip-top bag using a rolling pin or the bottom of a heavy skillet to achieve an impeccably even crumb size without making a messy explosion across your pristine kitchen counters.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
Leaving the squash un-drained and un-mashed, resulting in a swampy yellow tragedy that stubbornly refuses to set, leaving your guests wondering if you served them a warm vegetable smoothie instead of despair.
The Jester's Corner
Royal Court Comedy
Our royal jester declares that calling squash a vegetable is a polite fiction we all maintain just to feel better about eating an entire block of cheddar cheese and a sleeve of crackers.
The Culinary Science
Mayonnaise is a stable emulsion of oil and egg yolk. When baked, the proteins coagulate and trap moisture, giving the casserole its luxurious custard-like texture without needing extra heavy cream.
