Ingredients
  

For the Galette:

  • 1 ready-made pie crust
  • 2 cups butternut squash peeled and thinly sliced
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 small red onion thinly sliced
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • ½ tsp cumin
  • Pinch of chili flakes
  • 1 tbsp honey for drizzling

For the Goat Cheese Spread:

  • 4 oz goat cheese room temperature
  • 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves or 1/2 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tsp fresh sage chopped
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Toss the butternut squash and red onion with olive oil, salt, pepper, and chili flakes. Set aside.
  • In a small bowl, mix the goat cheese with thyme, sage, salt, pepper, and olive oil until smooth and spreadable.
  • Roll out the pie crust onto the prepared baking sheet.
  • Spread the goat cheese mixture evenly over the center of the crust, leaving a 2-inch border.
  • Arrange the butternut squash and onion mixture over the goat cheese.
  • Gently fold the edges of the crust over the filling, overlapping as needed to create a rustic edge.
  • Drizzle with honey.
  • Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the squash is tender.
  • Serve hot or at room temperature for a cozy, savory treat.
