Description

Delight in this Butternut Squash & Goat Cheese Tart, featuring roasted squash and creamy goat cheese nestled in a flaky crust—perfect for any occasion.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 sheet puff pastry (thawed)
  • 2 cups butternut squash (peeled and cubed)
  • 4 oz soft goat cheese (crumbled)
  • 2 tbsp fresh rosemary (chopped)
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface to about a quarter-inch thickness. Carefully transfer it into a tart pan, pressing down gently to fit.
  3. Toss cubed butternut squash with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes until tender and caramelized.
  4. In a mixing bowl, combine the roasted butternut squash, crumbled goat cheese, chopped rosemary, and additional salt and pepper. Stir until well blended.
  5. Spread the butternut squash mixture evenly over the prepared puff pastry base.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes until the crust is golden brown and puffed up.
