    Personally, after peeling the chayotes, I sauté and cook them with diced bacon, onions, garlic, and tomatoes, then place them in a baking dish and cover them either with gratin cheese or a good cheese béchamel.

    Thank you :) I had never cooked chayote before today, even though chayote gratin is my mom's favorite dish. She really liked it, so I will definitely make it again! My suggestion: To prevent the chayote from releasing too much water, once cooked and blended, place them in a clean cloth and wring them out. Very effective!

    Variation My suggestion: I cook the chayotes cut in half in water, I scoop them out once cooked, being careful not to pierce the skin. I add grilled bacon to this recipe and fill the chayote shells with it.
