Transfer the mixture of contents to a colander that is set over a bowl and let it drain for about five minutes. Discard the liquid.
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, sour cream, and mayonnaise.
Follow this with stirring in the cheddar and Parmesan cheese and season the mixture with salt and pepper.
Gently fold in squash mixture then transfer mixture to the baking dish you prepared before.
