Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Peel and cube the butternut squash into even pieces. Toss cubes with olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 25–30 minutes.
  3. Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add sliced onions and cook for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface until large enough for your tart pan. Press the pastry into the pan and prick holes in the bottom.
  5. Spread caramelized onions over the pastry, followed by roasted butternut squash. Crumble goat cheese on top and drizzle with heavy cream. Sprinkle fresh thyme over the filling.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden.
  7. Let the tart cool for about 10 minutes before slicing. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
