Method
 

Preparation Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss cubed butternut squash with olive oil, cinnamon, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 15-20 minutes until tender.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté chopped red onion for 3-5 minutes until translucent. Season with salt and set aside.
  3. Roll out the pie dough to a ¼-inch thick circle (12-14 inches in diameter) on a floured surface. Transfer to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  4. Spread Boursin cheese over the center of the rolled dough, leaving a 1-inch border. Layer roasted squash, sautéed onions, and sage leaves on top.
  5. Fold the edges of the dough over the filling. Brush exposed dough with heavy cream and sprinkle with parmesan cheese. Bake for 45-50 minutes until golden brown.
  6. Allow the galette to cool on the baking sheet for 5-10 minutes before slicing. Sprinkle crumbled gorgonzola dolce on top before serving.
