This shows a picture of some Patty Pan Squash, these are kind of small, I usually wait until they are twice this large to harvest them.

First wash the squash, trim the top and bottom, then cut in half.

With a spoon, take out a small amount of the center.

Then puncture with a fork.

Fill the cavity with peppers, onions or even salsa. I used Anaheim peppers. Season if you like.

Then top with butter.

Cook in the microwave until soft, then top with cheese. I used pepper jack cheese. If prefered, remove the peppers before adding cheese.

Return to the microwave and melt the cheese. These make great appetizers.
