16 tiny pattypan squash (about 1 1/2 inches in diameter)*
1/2 cup soft bread crumbs
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 green onions (with tops), finely chopped
1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
Heat oven to 350°. Heat 1 inch water to boiling. Add squash. Cook 6 to 8 minutes or until crisp-tender; drain. Cut off stem ends. Hollow out squash; reserve squash shells. Chop squash meat finely. Mix squash and remaining ingredients except cheese. Spoon 1 heaping teaspoon filling into each squash shell. Sprinkle with cheese. Place in ungreased square pan, 9x9x2 inches. Bake uncovered 10 to 12 minutes or until hot.
*8 small pattypan squash (about 2 1/2 inches in diameter) can be substituted for the tiny squash. Spoon 1 heaping tablespoon filling into each squash shell.
