Gratin de courge jaune

This Southern-style squash casserole turns tender yellow squash into a creamy, cheesy bake crowned with a golden buttery cracker crust. Sautéing the squash first — then draining it hard — drives off the vegetable's abundant water, so the sour cream and cheddar custard sets rich and sliceable instead of soupy. It is the potluck side that disappears before the main dish does.
