Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. This is the method I use for roasting the butternut squash:
  3. Cut squash in half length-wise, remove seeds and strings.
  4. Put three or four canning rings in bottom of 8 x 8 cake pan, fill with water just to the top of the rings and place squash on top of the rings.
  5. Now, this recipe will only require one half of the squash, but I go ahead and prepare both halves the same.
  6. Put cinnamon sticks, 1 tsp garlic, 1 Tbs butter and 1 Tbs honey in each half.
  7. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for approximately 45 minutes or until soft.
  8. Remove from oven and let cool.
  9. Once cooled remove cinnamon sticks and place squash in large mixing bowl. The outside will just peel away when you lift it.
  10. Add Feta cheese to the cooked squash and mash together.
  11. With an electric mixer add butternut mixture with the rest of the cheeses and eggs.
  12. Gradually add the flour, thyme and pear slices.
  13. For the crust:
  14. Mix crushed Ritz crackers and melted butter together then press into a deep pie dish going up the sides of the dish to resemble a crust.
  15. Pour in the filling until flush to the top.
  16. Bake for 45 minutes to an hour, or until firm and toothpick comes out clean.
  17. Let Cool
  18. (This can be made in individual tart pans. If so, cooking time will be less)
  19. For the Pesto:
  20. Mix all ingredients together in food processor, adjusting any ingredients to your liking.
  21. Cut tart into serving sizes, serve with micro salad, dress with pesto, garnish with a slice of pear.
  22. Beautiful!
