Time 1h25m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

One 1 1/4-pound butternut squash, sliced 1/3-inch thick
1 red onion, sliced 1/4-inch thick
2 tablespoons olive oil
Kosher salt
One 9-inch refrigerated pie crust, chilled
Half 5.2-ounce container herbed cheese, such as Boursin
1 tablespoon chopped pistachios
1/2 cup baby arugula
1 tablespoon pomegranate seeds

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Scatter the squash and onions on a rimmed baking sheet, drizzle with the olive oil and season with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Toss well to coat evenly.
  • Roast until the squash is tender all the way through and the onions are soft and turning golden brown, 28 to 30 minutes. Let cool slightly.
  • Unroll the pie crust onto a nonstick baking sheet. Crumble half of the cheese over the crust, leaving a 2-inch border. Top with the roasted onions and then shingle with the squash in circles. Fold the crust borders up and over the filling, crimping every 2 inches or so. Sprinkle the exposed squash with the pistachios and the remaining cheese.
  • Bake until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted, about 30 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes, then sprinkle with the arugula and pomegranate seeds.
  • Slice and serve warm or at room temperature.
