Butternut Squash, Balsamic Onions & Ricotta Galette
- 1- 1/2 cup Whole Wheat Pastry Flour
- 1/4 teaspoons Salt
- 8 Tablespoons Butter, Chilled
- 2 ounces, weight Cream Cheese, Chilled
- 1/2 cups Ice Water
- 1- 1/2 pound Butternut Squash
- 2 Onions
- 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
- 2 Tablespoons Balsamic Vinegar
- 15 ounces, weight Ricotta Cheese
- 1 Tablespoon Honey
- 1 Egg White
- 1 Tablespoon Fresh Rosemary
- 1/4 cups Parmesan Cheese, Shredded
- 1/2 cups Mozzarella, Shredded
- 1 Egg Yok
- 1 teaspoon Water
- Preheat oven to 400 F.
- In a food processor (or a medium bowl) combine flour and salt for crust.
- Pulse (or cut) in the butter.
- Once butter is mostly into small chunks, pulse (or cut) in cream cheese.
- (On a side note- I really love using a food processor to make this dough less mess!)
- Once butter and cream cheese are in pea size pieces, pulse in 1/4 cup of water until dough begins to come together (adding a 1 tablespoon of water extra as needed.)
- Remove from food processor and shape into a disc (without handling the dough too much.)
- Wrap in plastic and place in refrigerator.
- While dough chills, peel butternut squash and cut into 1/4 thick slices.
- Place on a baking tray (covered with parchment or aluminum foil if you want) and roast it in the preheated oven until tender, roughly 20-25 minutes.
- Then remove from oven and set aside.
- To make onions, cut them into 1/8 half circles.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over low heat.
- Place sliced onions in skillet and begin to let onions cook do not stir.
- Continue to cook onions until they begin to brown, 10-15 minutes.
- Once onions are cooked, stir in balsamic vinegar and continue to cook until vinegar reduces down, about 5-10 minutes.
- Then remove from heat and set aside.
- Once dough is chilled, squash is roasted, and onions are ready, blend together the remaining filling ingredients (ricotta through mozzarella on the above list) in a bowl.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll the pie dough out to a 12-14 circle and transfer to a baking sheet covered in parchment paper (you can also do an ungreased baking sheet but it wasnt easy to remove the final product.)
- Spread the ricotta filling evenly over the pie crust, leaving a 2 border around the edge of the crust.
- Next, evenly sprinkle 3/4 of the balsamic onions over the ricotta mixture.
- Finally, start in the middle and overlap the butternut squash in a circle continuing until all of the ricotta mixture is covered.
- Fold the edges of the crust over some of the filling, pleating as needed to make an even circle.
- Combine the egg yolk/water and brush the outer edge of the crust.
- Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil on top of the butternut squash and place the galette in oven.
- Bake galette until crust is golden brown and the cheese has puffed somewhere between 35-45 minutes.
- Remove from oven and sprinkle with remaining balsamic onions.
- Cut into wedges and serve.
- (This is great hot, room temperature, or even straight from the refrigerator as a leftover!)
