Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F. In a food processor, pulse 1 cup flour, 1/2 cup cold butter (cut into cubes), 1 tbsp honey, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp pepper until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add 1 large egg and pulse until just combined. Shape into a disk, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
2. Step 2: Preheat oven to 375°F. Roll out the dough on a floured surface into a 12-inch circle. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Spread 8 oz crumbled goat cheese evenly over the dough, leaving a 2-inch border.
3. Step 3: Peel and cube 1 large butternut squash (about 2 cups). In a large skillet, melt 1 tbsp butter over medium heat. Add the squash, 2 tbsp fresh rosemary, 1 tbsp thyme, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp pepper. Sauté for 10-12 minutes until tender and caramelized. Spoon the mixture over the goat cheese.
4. Step 4: Fold the dough’s edges over the filling, crimping to seal. Brush the edges with 1 tbsp melted butter. Bake for 25-30 minutes until the crust is golden and the filling is bubbly. Let cool 10 minutes before serving.
