BUTTERNUT SQUASH PUFF PIZZA
WITH SAGE AND SMOKED CHEDDAR

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound chopped butternut squash
1 sheet ready-made puff pastry (a 17.3-ounce box contains 2 sheets), defrosted
1 large egg yolk, beaten with 1 teaspoon water
7 ounces smoked cheddar cheese, grated
4 sage leaves, minced, plus extra to garnish
Sea salt and pepper

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.

Heat olive oil in skillet over medium low heat, add squash, and cook until it softens without browning, about 5 minutes.

Place puff pastry sheet on lightly floured work surface and roll out slightly.

Using a sharp knife, mark a 1/2-inch border around edge of the pastry, without cutting through. Brush border with egg yolk and water.

Sprinkle half the cheese on the pastry within the border and top with the squash. Sprinkle with minced sage and season with salt and pepper.

Bake 20 minutes, then sprinkle with remaining cheese and bake another 5 minutes.

Garnish with fresh sage leaves and serve.
