Do you like squash?
It seems like squash is one of those foods that people either love or hate.
It also tends to be one of those homegrown vegetables that people end up with too much of.
So . . . if you like sauteed squash and have an abundance of this particular vegetable, then this is the perfect dish for you.
It is low carb, gluten-free, and high in protein.
If you don’t like Gruyere, then consider a sharp cheddar cheese.
Bon appetit!
