MEP, my darling, your daughter doesn't know what's good eating! This was sublime, more than sublime, it was decadent, since I ate most of the whole thing myself. 4 servings my big fat tushy, do you know what happens if you put this dish down in front of a Somersizer or an Atkin's dieter? It's not pretty, let me tell you! I cut the zukes into spears, and cooked them with an onion soup cube instead of the chicken bouillon. I also spread the spears out in the oven, did not layer them, so they sort of became cheesy zuke fries. By the time I was making my third batch I had it down to a science, with a sprinking of granulated garlic on the spears before sprinkling on the cheese, and then a light powdering of some Hungarian paprika. MEP, I sing your praises on a regular basis, thank you!

This has to be one of the best of the best.....at least in my t&t cookbook! It was so easy to prepare, and so good. The chicken bouillon added depth to the squash. I keep repeating to myself, "simple is best, simple is best". We loved the cheese combination. I made it like you posted, then I added a pinch of Chimayo chile flakes on top before serving. Sesame seeds would be good too I think. Thanks MEP for sharing your recipe and making me look good :-)
