Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Peel and dice the butternut squash into small cubes, then toss with olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes until fork-tender.
  3. Heat olive oil in a skillet, add sliced onions with a pinch of salt, and cook for about 20 minutes until caramelized.
  4. Roll out the puff pastry to fit your tart pan, about 1/8-inch thick, and press into the pan. Prick the bottom with a fork.
  5. Spread caramelized onions over the pastry base, layer roasted butternut squash on top, crumble goat cheese, and drizzle with heavy cream. Sprinkle with thyme.
  6. Bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes until the pastry is golden brown and cheese is slightly melted. Brush edges with a beaten egg during the last 5 minutes of baking.
  7. Allow tart to cool for about 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
