GRILLED ZUCCHINI AND FETA TOASTS
Though its flavor is subtle, zucchini absorbs seasonings readily, and develops deep complexity when grilled. In this recipe, the grilled squash is doused with a flavorful oil made with garlic, cumin and coriander. If you have extra time, marinate the grilled zucchini pieces in the spice oil for up to 24 hours to help build flavor. You can serve the dish hot off the grill, or prepare in advance, then serve at room temperature.

Steps:
- Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high and brush the grates clean, if grilling outdoors.
- With a small spoon, scrape the seeds from the middle of zucchini halves and discard. Rub zucchini with 2 tablespoons olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place zucchini halves onto grill, cut-sides down, and cook until charred on both sides, turning halfway through, 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer grilled zucchini onto a cutting board, let cool slightly then cut into bite-size pieces.
- While zucchini grills, brush bread on both sides with 2 tablespoons olive oil. Grill until lightly charred on both sides, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a serving platter.
- While zucchini and bread grill, prepare the spice oil: Heat remaining 1/4 cup oil in a small saucepan over medium-low until hot. Stir in the garlic, cumin seeds, coriander seeds and red-pepper flakes, and remove from heat. The residual heat from the oil will cook the garlic and spices. Transfer spice oil to a large bowl, add grilled zucchini and toss to combine.
- Spoon zucchini over grilled bread and top with large pieces of feta. Serve with lemon wedges for squeezing on top.
JEAN-GEORGES VONGERICHTEN'S SQUASH ON TOAST
This appetizer takes a little effort, but it rewards with layers of rich fall flavor and texture. You'll roast a cut squash and confit onion slices with maple syrup and apple cider vinegar. Veteran cooks will immediately get the idea: Cook the onions awhile, until they're dark and soft, then add the two liquids and continue to cook until they're jammy. The process could take as long as an hour, depending on the heat, your attentiveness and the water content of the onions. But it isn't difficult. Do not forget the mint; it's not the same without it.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 450. Combine the squash, 1/4 cup olive oil, chile flakes and 2 teaspoons of salt in a bowl and toss well. Transfer the mixture to a parchment-lined baking sheet and cook, stirring every few minutes, until tender and slightly colored, about 15 minutes or a little longer. Remove from the oven.
- Meanwhile, heat another 1/4 cup olive oil over medium-high heat, add the onions and remaining teaspoon salt and cook, stirring frequently, until the onions are well softened and darkening, at least 15 minutes. Add the vinegar and syrup, stir and reduce until syrupy and broken down, again at least 15 minutes or so; the mixture should be jammy.
- Combine squash and onions in a bowl and smash with a fork until combined. Taste for seasoning.
- Add the remaining oil to a skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches if necessary, add bread and cook until just golden on both sides, less than 10 minutes total; drain on paper towels. Spread cheese on toasts, then top with the squash-onion mixture. Sprinkle with coarse salt and garnish with mint.

Recipe from NY Times...AMAZING!!! Wonderfully paired squash with ricotta cheese, the onions make this TO-DIE-FOR!

Instead of browning onions on the stove top, you can place them into a crock pot, set on low, and cook overnight.

POPOVERS
Popovers begin with essentially the same batter as Yorkshire pudding. Purists will tell you that what makes Yorkshire pudding so great is that it's cooked in beef drippings. But butter isn't a bad stand-in, and popovers are pretty easy. You can buy special popover pans, with deeper, narrower cups which force the tops up in a more pronounced fashion, but I wouldn't bother. Any muffin pan will produce a perfect popover if the butter is hot, the batter is rich and smooth and the baker is patient. But the patience ends when the popovers are done: they must be eaten right away.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Drizzle a teaspoon or so of melted butter in each cup of a 12-cup muffin pan or a popover tin and put it in oven while you make batter.
- Beat together the eggs, milk, 1 tablespoon butter, sugar and salt. Beat in the flour a little bit at a time and add thyme if using; mixture should be smooth.
- Carefully remove muffin tin from oven and fill each cup about halfway. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, then reduce heat to 350 degrees and continue baking for 15 minutes more, or until popovers are puffed and browned. Do not check popovers until they have baked for a total of 30 minutes. Remove from pan immediately and serve hot.
