Savory Butternut Squash Pie with Hazelnuts
- 1 (3.0-pound) butternut squash, halved lengthwise, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
- 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt, divided
- 1 yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons dry white wine
- 1/2 cup grated Parmigiano Reggiano
- 1/2 cup toasted hazelnuts, roughly chopped
- 1 egg, lightly beaten

Preheat the oven to 400°F.
In a large bowl, toss squash with 2 tablespoons of the oil, 1/4 teaspoon of the salt and 1/4 teaspoon of the pepper.
Arrange squash in a single layer on a large baking sheet.
Roast, tossing occasionally, until squash is tender and golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes.
Transfer to a large bowl and set aside.
Meanwhile, heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add onion and cook, stirring often, until browned, 7 to 9 minutes.
Add wine and cook, scraping up any brown bits, for 1 minute more.
Add onion to bowl with squash then add Parmigiano Reggiano, hazelnuts, egg, bread crumbs, remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and remaining 1/4 teaspoon pepper and toss gently to combine.
Transfer mixture to pie crust, pat down lightly and bake until crust is golden brown and filling is hot, about 40 minutes.
