Equipment

  • Oven
  • baking sheet
  • skillet
  • parchment paper
  • Rolling Pin

Ingredients
  

Crust

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour Essential for a perfect, flaky galette crust
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt Enhances the flavor of the dough
  • 0.75 cups unsalted butter Use cold and cubed for optimum flakiness
  • 6 tablespoons ice water Helps bind the dough without melting the butter

Filling

  • 1 medium butternut squash Roasted to bring out its natural sweetness
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil Adds richness and aids in roasting
  • 0.5 teaspoon cinnamon Adds warm, sweet notes that pair beautifully with squash
  • 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder Provides depth and savoriness to the filling
  • 0.5 teaspoon onion powder Complements fresh onions for enhanced flavor
  • 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper powder Adds a little heat to the galette
  • 1 medium red onion Cooked until translucent for a sweet, mellow flavor
  • 4 ounces Boursin cheese (or goat cheese) Creamy texture adds richness and flavor
  • 6 leaves sage leaves Infuses the galette with a hint of herbal freshness

Topping

  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream Brushed on the edges for a golden finish
  • 0.5 cup parmesan cheese Adds a savory, cheesy crust
  • 0.25 teaspoon black pepper A touch of spice
  • 4 ounces gorgonzola dolce Crumbled on top for a lovely, creamy finish

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Place cubed butternut squash on the baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and season with cinnamon, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne. Toss to coat evenly. Roast for 15-20 minutes.
  • In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat, add sliced red onion, and cook until translucent, about 3-5 minutes.
  • Reduce oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) after removing squash. Roll out dough on a floured surface to a circle about ¼-inch thick.
  • Spread Boursin cheese over the dough center, layer the roasted squash, sautéed red onions, and sage leaves on top.
  • Fold dough edges over filling, brushing with heavy cream and sprinkling with parmesan cheese and black pepper.
  • Bake the galette for 45-50 minutes until golden brown.
  • Cool for 5-10 minutes before serving, topped with crumbled gorgonzola dolce.

Notes

Use cold butter for a flaky crust. Don't rush the roasting for better flavor. Even layering is key for taste in each bite. Watch baking time for golden crust and allow cooling for easier slicing.
