I have a lot of squash, lots, tons. That does not describe it even slightly. My husband took charge with using some of our squash recently.
If you follow on Facebook, then you know I caught my husband in the kitchen frying up squash. Now, I am not a fan of many things fried and the smell of the grease, well that’s another story. It makes me feel like I’m clogging an artery by simply smelling it.
My husband on the other hand? When you say Fried Squash? He says ‘More, Please’.
This is my husband’s recipe, and it was pretty tasty and easy, even coming from someone who does not like deep fried foods.
All it takes is a little soaking and flouring.
A touch of frying.
And a lot of eating!
Ingredients:
- 1 Large Yellow Squash
- 2 Eggs
- 1 Cup of Milk
- Flour
- Oil
- Salt
Directions:
Pour enough oil in the skillet to coat the bottom. Then, heat the skillet to a medium heat.
Next, slice the squash into thin slices and set aside.
Then, beat the eggs in a bowl and mix in the milk.
Using a large plate, pour out the flour onto the plate.
Dip the squash into the egg and milk and soak. Once the squash is soaked, dip into the flour. The squash needs to be coated well on both sides with flour.
Lastly, put it in the hot grease and fry. It will need to be turned frequently and quickly to avoid burning.
Add salt to taste, if needed.
This makes the perfect side dish for any home cooked meal or eat as a treat!

Hi Kristy! This recipe is perfect! It is so ironic that you have this today. I have about 4 yellow squash sitting in my veggie basket right now and this sounds perfect! I love that this recipe incorporates ingredients that are already in my pantry so whipping this up will be easy. I look forward to trying this. Thanks!!
Fried squash is one of my favorite summertime delicacies along with fried green tomatoes.
Fried Green Tomatoes…Yum!!!
