Time 1h25m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 yellow onion, a large one peeled and thinly sliced into rings
12 ounces winter squash, uncooked and peeled (butternut, acorn, hubbard, or kabocha)
1/3 cup fresh orange juice
2 teaspoons fresh rosemary, minced
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, grated
1 pie crust, unbaked (either your own recipe or store-bought)

Steps:

  • In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat.
  • Add onion, and reduce heat to medium-low.
  • Cook, stirring occasionally, until onion rings become very tender and golden brown, 30 to 40 minutes.
  • Remove from heat, and set aside. (This step can be done a day or more ahead; refrigerate caramelized onions until ready to proceed.).
  • Heat oven to 350°F
  • Cut squash into ¾-inch-thick cubes; you should have about 2½ cups total.
  • In a large bowl, combine squash, onions, orange juice, rosemary, and salt; mix well to combine. Add cheddar, and stir just until evenly distributed.
  • Place pie crust on ungreased baking sheet.
  • Mound squash mixture in the center, leaving a 2½-inch border of pie crust around the filling.
  • Fold over edges of pie crust to partially cover the vegetable/cheese filling, overlapping crust as needed.
  • Bake the galette 40 to 50 minutes, or until filling is bubbly and squash pieces are tender.
  • Allow to cool before serving; it's best to slice the galette when it's warm, not hot.
