1/4 cup (25 grams) grated Parmesan cheese

# How to Make It:
01 -
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 -
In a large bowl, toss the butternut squash cubes with olive oil, salt, pepper, and thyme. Arrange in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast for 25–30 minutes, stirring once halfway, until tender and golden.
03 -
While the squash roasts, roll out the pie crust or galette dough on a lightly floured surface into a 30 cm circle, approximately 3 mm thick. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
04 -
Gently sauté chopped onions or shallots with a splash of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat until soft and translucent, about 5–7 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
05 -
Once the butternut squash is roasted, let it cool slightly. Scatter sautéed onions over the dough, leaving a 5 cm border. Evenly distribute roasted squash atop the onions, then sprinkle with crumbled goat cheese and grated Parmesan.
06 -
Carefully fold the edges of the dough over the filling, pleating to form a rustic border. Brush the exposed dough with beaten egg for a golden finish.
07 -
Transfer the galette to the oven and bake for 25–30 minutes, until the crust is golden and crisp.
08 -
Cool the galette slightly. Optionally, drizzle with honey. Garnish with fresh parsley or arugula if desired. Slice and serve warm or at room temperature, pairing with a green salad if preferred.
# Extra Tips:
01 -
Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for best dough handling and even filling distribution.
