For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the squash mixture. Feel free to experiment with different cheese blends. Gruyere or mozzarella would also work well. If you don't have buttery crackers, Ritz crackers or even plain breadcrumbs can be substituted. To prevent the gratin from browning too quickly, cover it loosely with foil during the last 10 minutes of baking.
