Ingredients
  

  • 1 prepared 9-inch pie crust (homemade or halal store-bought)
  • 2 cups butternut squash, peeled and diced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup half-and-half or whole milk
  • 1/2 cup grated Gruyère, Swiss, or sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage or thyme (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish and set aside.
  • Toss the diced butternut squash with olive oil and spread on a baking sheet. Roast for 20–25 minutes or until tender and slightly caramelized.
  • While the squash roasts, sauté the chopped onion in a skillet over medium heat for 5–7 minutes until soft and lightly golden. Let cool slightly.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, half-and-half, nutmeg, salt, and pepper.
  • Spread the roasted squash and sautéed onions evenly in the prepared pie crust. Sprinkle with chopped herbs if using.
  • Pour the egg mixture over the filling, then sprinkle the grated cheese evenly on top.
  • Reduce oven temperature to 375°F (190°C). Bake the quiche for 35–40 minutes or until the center is set and the top is lightly golden.
  • Let the quiche cool for 5–10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
