Ingredients

  • 5 lbs butternut squash, peeled and sliced ¼ inch thick

  3. Combine the remaining 2 cups honey, the truffle oil and truffle peelings and mix with a whisk until all is combined.
  4. Slice the apples 1/8 inch thick in half-moons.
  5. For each serving, arrange overlapping slices of squash in a circle on a plate. Ruffle prosciutto on top and hold it in place with apple slices. Garnish with fried Brussels sprout leaves and truffle honey.
