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.

These were so easy to make, did not take a lot of time and ended up being just as stunning as the magazine's which I was thrilled about. Just using the leaves would make a great garnish for an autumn soup. Love getting to use my cookie cutters for more than just cookies!
