Recipe by Chef John See how to make summer squash stuffed with sausage and goat cheese.

Ingredients

2 teaspoons olive oil, divided
4 ounces Merguez sausage, casing removed
1/2 cup diced red bell pepper
2 ounces fresh goat cheese, crumbled
5 small round summer squashes, halved
salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon dry bread crumbs, or more as needed
2 teaspoons olive oil

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly coat it with 1 teaspoon olive oil.
Heat 1 teaspoon olive oil in a nonstick pan over medium heat. Stir in sausage and red bell pepper. Cook, stirring to break up sausage into small pieces, until sausage is browned and bell pepper is soft and sweet, 7 to 8 minutes. Drain off any fat.
Stir goat cheese and sausage mixture in a bowl until well combined. Set aside.
Hollow out a 3/4-inch deep well in the center of each squash half. Place each piece on the prepared baking sheet, cut-side up. Season with salt and black pepper; fill each with 1 to 2 tablespoons cheese and sausage mixture. Top each squash with breadcrumbs and lightly drizzle with remaining 2 teaspoons olive oil.
Bake in the preheated oven until filling is golden and squash is tender, about 30 minutes.
