Crab in Summer Squash Bowls

I’m a total sucker for any dish that comes in a little contained bowl. It’s cute, fun and makes everything feel like a party. It’s even better when it’s easy. These little circular summer squash make the perfect vessel for a summery, simple delight. Pre-cooked crab meat and a little bit of cheese round out this dish - it’s as easy as can be but somehow still feels like a special occasion. And don’t fret if you don’t have this kind of squash - you could make this just as easily with your standard piece of zucchini. Now watch the video below and enjoy!

Crab Stuffed Summer Squash Bowls

Ingredients:
8 round summer squash
1 pound crab meat
1/4 cup goat cheese
Drizzle of olive oil
Dash of salt
1 lemon

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking pan with aluminum foil. Slice the tops off the squash and scoop out the flesh (a melon baller or small ice cream scoop works well). Drizzle the squash with olive oil and add a dash of salt. Place on the foil and bake for 15 minutes.

While the squash is cooking, combine the goat cheese, crab meat, and lemon. Add salt as needed. Scoop the crab mixture into the squash and then bake for an additional 5 minutes. Serve hot or at room temperature.
