Ingredients

• 1 piece store-bought or homemade pie crust
• 1 cup butternut squash, cubed
• 1 cup brussels sprouts, halved
• 0.5 piece red onion, thinly sliced
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 4 large eggs
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup shredded Gruyère cheese
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
• 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Prepare the crust by rolling it out into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim any excess dough and crimp the edges. Place the crust in the refrigerator to chill.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine butternut squash, brussels sprouts, and red onion. Drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss to coat.

Step 4

Spread the vegetables evenly on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for 20 minutes, or until tender and lightly caramelized. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool slightly.

Step 5

Reduce the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C).

Step 6

In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, thyme, nutmeg, and an additional pinch of salt and pepper until fully combined.

Step 7

Sprinkle half the shredded Gruyère cheese evenly over the bottom of the chilled crust.

Step 8

Arrange the roasted vegetables on top of the cheese layer. Spread them out evenly for a uniform texture.

Step 9

Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables, ensuring it fills all the gaps.

Step 10

Sprinkle the remaining Gruyère cheese evenly over the top.

Step 11

Place the quiche on a baking sheet to catch any spills and bake in the oven for 30 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown.

Step 12

Remove the quiche from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes to allow the filling to set completely.

Step 13

Slice and serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your Yummy Autumn Veggie Quiche!
