Instructions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Place squash halves cut side up on a rimmed baking sheet and drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Bake squash for 50-60 minutes until brown and fork tender.
When the roasted squash is cool enough to handle, scoop the flesh into a large bowl.
With an electric hand mixer blend 2 ounces of goat cheese, orange juice, sage and thyme into the squash. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Increase oven heat to 425 degrees F.
Place flatbread onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and brush the tops with a thin coating of olive oil. Bake 3-5 minutes to crisp the crust (skip this if you prefer a chewier crust).
Remove flatbread from oven and evenly spread on the squash mixture.
Top with prosciutto, shallots, crumbles of remaining goat cheese, and sage leaves. Sprinkle with freshly grated parmesan.
Bake for 8-10 minutes until edges are crisp and golden brown.
Finish with fresh cracked black pepper, additional parmesan, green onions and a drizzle of honey. Enjoy!
