Need Substitution Suggestions

My stepmom made this for Christmas dinner. It was GREAT! She too, used a pre-made crust and it was just fine! I would like to make this, but have a few friends who are not "blue" cheese fans. Does anyone have any suggestions on substitutes for the Stilton. I was thinking perhaps some Brie added at the very end of the baking process to melt into it.




Probably great with changes

I made this as described and ended up with 3 layers (since it said to use all) of mainly cooked, but not caramelized, apple & acorn squash. It needs a large onion, too, not a small onion. Also, the melted butter coagulated on the filling items so next time I would mix the herbs and fillings with olive oil instead. The fresh herbs really smelled incredible. I would try this again but with these changes.




I would make this again

Pretty good overall. I liked it and so did my daughter, but the husband...well, he wasn't impressed. I cheated and used pillsbury pie crust. Came out just fine.




Lovely!

This was so easy to make, the crust came together so quick and was easy and flaky. The flavors worked well together, the mustard goes wonderfully on the pastry.(my husband who hates mustard loved this dish.) You have to make sure to get quality ingredients because each ingredient is important to the whole of the flavor. I was unable to find even a decent cheese and although the dish came together it really would shine with the right stuff! I look forward to making this again.




Gone in a FLASH!!!

Made this for a brunch business meeting so we'd have something to munch on.... they RAVED about it!! Even the gal who doesn't eat onions was so smitten with this dish she ate more than anyone else! I used a grainy mustard from "Cal Berkeley". Very good! Forgot to put in the review and decided to make it again for the same meeting tomorrow and had to find the recipe so I could make it again. :)




Squash Galette

This is one of the best squash recipes I have ever used. I have made this to take to three dinners and all three times I have had to email the recipe to the people that tried it. It makes agreat presentation, tastes delicious, and it is very easy to make.




Easy, delicious and beautiful

If you buy the crust, this is a snap to make. Looks labor intensive and impressive. Delicious and easy.




So good!

This requires a little bit of effort to create (though not precision!), but well worth it. The flavors blend quite nicely. I used a stilton with dried apricot bits in it. Very good!




Yes!

This was pretty easy (I don't make pastries and the food processor dough was surprisingly easy and extremely tasty) and the flavor combo is awesome. The only thing I would change is maybe add a little more mustard and blue cheese (but that's just a personal preference). I'll make this again!




a simple showstopper!

This is my favorite recipe so far from this site, and I've tried a few. A great make ahead dish for friends of family events, this takes abuse like a champ and is good hot or room temp. I find I like it better with a nice medium dry ham subbed in for the squash, and I've also had some success with a blueberry stilton I found at Trader Joe's, though it changes the tone of the dish to an almost dessert like flavor.

This was one of the best recipes I have served. It was easy to make and the presentation was gorgeous. Everyone raved about it and they all asked for the recipe.




Delicious!

This is simply delicious! The flavors of the squash, apple and onion go so well together, and the small bit of blue cheese adds the perfect amount of zing. I did not find it overpowering at all. It was pretty straightforward to make. I had a little bit of trouble rolling out the dough to the correct specs, because I had let it chill for several hours and it was a bit hard to work with. Next time I will let it sit out for a few minutes before trying to work with it. I ended up with leftover butternut squash and onion wedges, which I will use in another recipe tomorrow. I will definitely make this delectable dish again - it would be lovely for a dinner party.




Stilton failure

The Stilton cheese overpowers all the other flavors of the dish. The aromas from the oven, rosemary, apple, squash are wonderful.....the last 5 minute blue cheese addition hides all these lovely aromas and all you taste is warm blue cheese. YUK!




excellent

This recipe was surprisingly easy. I made the dough in about 5 minutes and it was exactly what a crust should taste like. The combination of ingredients was perfect and all my friends loved it. Using fresh ingredients is important; I especially liked the fragrant rosemary with the mustard.




Exceptional presentation

I have made this twice and both times it was outstanding! I was pressed for time so used pre-made crust (the one that you roll out) and cut up the squash, apples and onions and poured the whole thing out on the crust and it still was unbelievably delicious! Will definitely keep in mind for future making!
