Ingredients

    • 1 large butternut squash
    • Small squares of a dense brown bread, such as pumpernickel
    • Goat cheese
    • Butter, for cooking squash
    • Salt, for sprinkling squash

Directions

  1. Cut a large butternut squash horizontally below the neck; reserve bulb for another use. Cut squash into 1/8-inch-thick slices. Use leaf-shaped cookie cutters to cut out.
  2. Cook squash leaves in butter over medium heat until brown, 2 minutes on each side. Transfer to paper towels to drain; sprinkle with salt.
  3. Toast small squares of a dense brown bread, such as pumpernickel. Top each with a small dollop of goat cheese and cover with one of the leaves.
