Ingredients
Scale
1 pre-made pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
2 cups butternut squash, peeled and diced into ½-inch pieces
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 small onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
4 large eggs
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, feta, or your favorite blend)
1 teaspoon dried thyme
½ teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a large bowl, toss the diced butternut squash with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread it out on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes or until tender and slightly caramelized.
In a skillet over medium heat, add a drizzle of olive oil and sauté the diced onion until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, thyme, nutmeg (if using), and a pinch of salt and pepper.
Once the squash is done roasting, add it to the skillet with the onion and garlic. Pour in your egg mixture and sprinkle in the cheese, carefully folding everything together.
Place your pie crust in a pie dish and pour in the squash mixture. Use a spatula to spread it evenly.
Place the pie dish in the oven and bake for 35-40 minutes or until the center is set and the top is a lovely golden brown.
Once out of the oven, let your quiche cool for about 10 minutes before slicing.
