Butternut Squash Savory Tart (with arugala, onions and gruyere)

This tart is wonderful anytime of year because it's got a whole host of intertwined flavors.

First make the dough- this is just your basic pastry dough you can find anywhere online. We used 1/2 whole wheat because it makes us feel better about eating this tart. It's fun to use your fingers to spread the dough into the pan.

Skin a butternut squash, cut into cubes, rub with olive oil, sprinkle salt pepper and a dusting of cayenne pepper, and roast in oven at 350 until tender but still firm, like 25 min?

Slice onions into thin slivers and sautee with salt, pepper and some thyme until soft.

Create layers of squash, onions, arugala and sliced swiss cheese and bake at 350 until cheese is melty and crust is crusty about 35 min?.

Voila! Just looking at these photos makes me crave some of this lovely pie.

  1. I love this! I am making it for the second time now, for our Easter brunch tomorrow. Using spinach instead of arugula, but otherwise the same. Yum.
