Patty pan squash—also known as scallop squash or custard squash—is one of the most charming summer squashes in the garden, prized for its flattened, flying-saucer shape and tender, buttery flavor. These heirloom and open-pollinated varieties are harvested young for the best texture, whether you’re grilling, roasting, stuffing, or sautéing them fresh from the garden. Easy to grow and highly productive, patty pan squash plants thrive in warm summer weather and keep producing with regular picking. From classic pale white and buttery yellow types to striking green-striped selections, scallop squash adds both beauty and flavor to the kitchen garden.
