CHAYOTES RELLENOS AL QUESO (CHAYOTES STUFFED WITH CHEESE)
Steps:
- Split chayotes lengthwise in half. Put them in kettle of cold water with salt to taste. Bring to boil and let simmer about 10 minutes. Do not overcook or the vegetable will become mushy. Drain and run briefly under cold water. Drain again.
- Using spoon or melon-ball cutter, scoop out flesh and seeds of each half, leaving shell about eighth of an inch thick or slightly thicker. Set the shells aside. Chop flesh and seeds fine. There should be about one cup.
- When ready to cook, preheat oven to 425 degrees.
- In mixing bowl combine the chopped pulp with cup of bread crumbs, two cups of cheese, egg, garlic, scallions, pepper flakes, salt and pepper to taste.
- Use this mixture to fill chayote halves. Pile filling up and smooth over.
- Combine remaining half cup of cheese with remaining half cup of bread crumbs. Sprinkle tops with mixture, patting to help it adhere. Dot tops of each half with butter.
- Arrange stuffed halves on lightly buttered baking dish. Place in oven and bake 20 minutes.

Steps:
- Place the chayote into a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until very tender, 45 to 50 minutes. Drain and allow to steam dry for a minute or two.
- Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Remove the seed and seed membrane from the chayote using a spoon; discard. Scoop out as much of the remaining pulp as possible into a bowl without puncturing the shell. Pat the shell dry with a paper towel and place in a baking dish; set aside. Squeeze the excess water from the reserved pulp. Stir in the butter, egg, heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, and 2 tablespoons Cheddar cheese until well-blended. Fill each of the chayote shells with the pulp/cheese mixture. Sprinkle the remaining 1 1/4 cup Cheddar cheese on top, followed by the bread crumbs.
- Bake in the preheated oven until heated through and the cheese has melted, 35 to 45 minutes.

Cover each of 8 of the chayote slices with 1 cheese slice; sprinkle with desired amount of crushed red pepper. Top with remaining chayote slices. Set aside.

Pat slices gently to remove excess flour, then dip into egg white mixture.
- Heat oil in large saucepan on medium-high heat. Carefully add chayotes, 1 at a time, to hot oil; cook 1 minute on each side or until golden brown on both sides. Drain on paper towels.

CHAYOTE WITH CHEESE (STUFFED & BAKED)
A Chayote dish to add variety to your meal. Note:When I made this I also added some garlic powder along with the salt & pepper. I used mexican blend cheese for the cheese, It was delicious. When boiling the chayote be sure to cook it until really tender so that is is easy to scoop out of the shell. Note: I have found that most of the time the Chayote takes longer to cook than 15 minutes because of size or age.
