Parmesan-Squash Cakes

Directions

Preheat oven to 400°F.

Beat egg in a large bowl. Stir in shallots, parsley, salt and pepper.

Place shredded squash in the center of a clean kitchen towel; gather up the ends and twist to squeeze out any liquid.

Add the squash and cheese to the bowl; stir to combine.

Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.

Pack a ⅓ cup measuring cup with the squash mixture and unmold it into the pan; gently pat it down to form a 3-inch cake.

Repeat, making 4 squash cakes.

Cook until browned and crispy on the bottom, 3 to 4 minutes.

Gently turn the cakes over and transfer the pan to the oven.

Bake for 10 minutes.

Serve immediately.
