Notes
Tips and Substitutions
Be sure the onions are cooked low and slow to prevent burning.
For quick and easy meal prep, purchase pre-made pie crust and pre-cut butternut squash
Place the pie crust on parchment paper lined baking sheet before forming the galette
Substitute 1 teaspoon dried rubbed sage for the fresh sage leaves
Substitute ½ cup blue cheese crumbles or feta for the Havarti cheese. These cheese will give the tart a different flavor profile to the tart, but it is still absolutely delicious!
