Make the Filling

Keep the Butter Cold: Cold butter creates that beautifully flaky crust. Try chilling the bowl and flour for an extra-crisp pastry.
Slice Pumpkin Thinly: Thin slices cook faster and create a lovely texture against the creamy goat cheese.
Experiment with Herbs: While sage is a classic choice, rosemary or thyme add lovely, complementary flavors.
