Leek tomato and butternut croustade

This looked interesting so I decided to give it a try, never having cooked any of this author's dishes before. A quick crust is made using breadcrumbs, cheese, and seeds. It is then pre baked and a filling of leeks, herbs, tomatoes, and butternut squash is added followed by a topping of that same crumb base. I have to wonder if this recipe was properly tested due to several issues. Firstly, you could really not hope to serve this as a "slice" since it falls apart even after standing. Secondly, and more importantly, the butternut squash was not cooked even after increasing the cooking time substantially. After removing the raw squash (this took some time), the taste was pretty good, so I think the basic idea was ok, hence the 2 star review. If I made this again, I would use a regular pastry base and pre cook the squash.
