On a lightly floured surface roll out dough into a 12-inch round
(about 1/8 inch thick). Fit dough into an 11-inch tart pan with a
removable fluted rim. Freeze shell 15 minutes.
Preheat oven to 375°F.
Line shell with foil and fill with pie weights or raw rice. Bake shell
in middle of oven until edge is pale golden, about 20 minutes.
Carefully remove foil and weights or rice and bake shell 10
minutes more, or until bottom is golden. Leave oven on. Cool
shell in pan on a rack.
Halve squash and scoop out seeds. Lightly brush each cut side
with about 1 teaspoon oil and on a baking sheet roast squash,
cut sides down, in middle of oven 40 minutes, or until soft.
While squash is roasting, thinly slice onion and in a heavy skillet
cook in 1/2 tablespoon butter and remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons
oil over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until soft and
golden brown, about 20 minutes.
Cool squash and scoop out flesh. In a food processor purée
squash. Add whole egg, egg yolk, and cream and blend well.
Transfer mixture to a large bowl and stir in cheeses, herbs,
onion, salt, and pepper to taste. Pour filling into shell, smoothing
top.
In a small skillet melt remaining tablespoon butter and stir in bread
crumbs until combined well. Sprinkle bread crumb mixture evenly
over filling. Bake tart in middle of oven 40 minutes, or until filling is
set. Cool tart in pan on rack 10 minutes and carefully remove rim.
