Delicious Savory Butternut Squash Pie ### Ingredients:

1 medium butternut squash, roasted and pureed
1 pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
3 large eggs
1 cup heavy cream
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon dried thyme
½ teaspoon nutmeg
1 tablespoon olive oil
Fresh herbs for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). If you’re using a homemade pie crust, roll it out and place it in a 9-inch pie pan. Poke holes in the bottom with a fork to prevent bubbling.
Cut the butternut squash in half, remove the seeds, and brush the cut sides with olive oil. Place it cut-side down on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for about 45 minutes or until tender. Allow it to cool before scooping the flesh into a bowl and pureeing it until smooth.
In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, grated Parmesan, salt, black pepper, dried thyme, and nutmeg until well combined.
Add the butternut squash puree into the egg mixture, and mix thoroughly until the filling is smooth and creamy.
Pour the squash filling into the prepared pie crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake the pie in the preheated oven for about 50-60 minutes or until the filling is set and the top is lightly golden.
Once done, allow the pie to cool for a bit before slicing. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired for a pop of color.

Serve this savory butternut squash pie warm with a side salad or enjoy it as a standalone delight. It’s sure to be a conversation starter at your table!
