Summer Squash French Bread Pizzas
Earlier this summer, I tried out Blue Apron and wasn’t delighted by it.
But I’ve continued to receive their emails with what they have on the menu each week, and occasionally one of the recipes looks good enough that I give it a try.
And by “occasionally,” I mean, “this is the only recipe I’ve tried in the months I’ve been getting the emails.
This was the perfect summer dinner – so fast to put together and totally delicious (also so freaking cheap if you make it yourself instead of going through Blue Apron).
Bart was dubious about it, but then we scarfed the whole thing down and he kept saying, “I can’t believe how good this is!”
Well played, Blue Apron.

Recipe Notes
(slightly adapted from Blue Apron)
This sounds delightful, and made me think of this Blue Apron sandwich that I've made a version of a few times: https://www.blueapron.com/recipes/seared-halloumi-sandwich-on-focaccia-with-roasted-vegetables-fuji-apple-salad
Trader Joe's carries the halloumi cheese
This looks amazing! Is it strange that the number one reason why I want to try it is for the mayo?
Made it. Loved it. Used Ciabatta from Trader Joe's because for some reason they didn't have regular french bread, still really good! I feel like I am the only idiot in the world who actually goes to the store and buys zucchini and squash right now, wish I had a green thumb!
Delicious! Made it last night.
