Here’s a quick and easy recipe to try, the kids will love it!
Ingredients:

Method:
- Wash and halve the squash

- In a pan, heat oil sauté sliced spring onions
- Add garlic and sauté for a few seconds
- Add corn kernels and sauté for 2-3 minutes

- Top it with cheese dividing the filling and cheese between the two halves. Bake again at 200 Deg C for 6-7 minutes

If you’d like to try something a little different, then instead of using cheddar cheese, use a different cheese instead – blue cheese or mozzarella
