If you have leftover mashed butternut squash from Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner, make this creative recipe to use up leftovers! If you’re sick of the same flavors from the holidays and want something different, this savory butternut squash pizza with goat cheese, prosciutto and balsamic glaze is perfect.
Allow pizza dough to come to room temperature so it’s easier to stretch out. Stretch out in a roughly 12 inch pizza and place on a pizza stone or sheet tray.
Spread out the mashed butternut squash like a sauce, to the edges of the pizza.
Bake for 17 minutes until the butternut squash begins to brown.
Top the pizza evenly with freshly shredded fontina cheese and goat cheese crumbles. Tear prosciutto into bite sized pieces and place it on top of the pizza.
Put the pizza back in the oven for 5-7 minutes until cheese is melted.
Drizzle balsamic glaze over pizza, cut and enjoy.
Notes
If you can’t find fontina, a mild gouda will also work.
Already roasted and then mashed butternut squash will also work with this recipe. If it is a bit too thick, add a splash of water/ milk or cream to loosen it up enough to spread it.
I use store bought pizza dough and balsamic glaze, but you can definitely make your own.
Serve this with a peppery side salad like arugula.
