Transfer the mixture to a colander set over a bowl.

Repeat with yellow squash and the remaining 1/2 tablespoon butter and 3/4 cup onion.

Add the squash mixture to the colander with the zucchini; let drain for 5 minutes.

Gently fold in the zucchini-squash mixture and mozzarella.

Spoon into a broiler-safe 2-quart baking dish.

Broil until the topping is golden brown all over, 2 to 3 minutes.

Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
