In lieu of my New Years resolution announcement, I have concocted another healthy recipe that you will definitely enjoy: a butternut squash galette. For those of you that don’t know what a galette is (don’t be ashamed, I didn’t know what a galette was until a few weeks ago either!), it is somewhat similar to a pie however you don’t need a pie pan for it. All you needis a puff pastry recipe that you love and a baking sheet to put it on when you are done. For this galette, you fill the puff pastry dough with a deliciously spiced butternut squash/caramelized onions/fontina cheese mixture, fold the edges of the puff pastry over, and throw it in the oven. This galette is great to make when you need an appetizer to impress some friends at your house, or theirs! I did this with my wife a few times over the holidays and it was a hit!
