Ingredients
- 9 in. Pie Crust
- 1 Butternut Squash, Peeled, Sliced, and Roasted.
- 1 Leek, Roasted
- Olive Oil for roasting
- Cheese of your choosing, in this case I used Sage Derby.
- 4 Eggs
- 2 C Milk
- S&P to taste
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 425° F.
- Peel, and slice the butternut squash. I found 1/8th in. slices to be ideal.
- Thoroughly wash the leek. Trim off any tough ends. Slice in half and dry.
- Drizzle olive oil over leek and butternut squash, tossing to evenly coat. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Toss half way through roasting.
- While the butternut squash and the leek are roasting, roll out the crust.
- Place crust in pie dish, crimping the edges, and piercing the bottom with a for several times. Line the inside of the crust with parchment paper and place in pie weights.
- Once the butternut squash comes out of the oven, reduce the heat to 400° F. Place one rack as low as possible in the oven and par-bake the crust for 10 minutes.
- While the crust is par-baking, whisk the eggs, adding the milk and whisking until fully combined.
- After the 10 minutes is up, remove the crust from the oven and reduce the temperature to 375° F.
- Place the leeks, butternut squash and cheese in the crust. Consider making a pretty design. Next, pour the egg and milk mixture over the pie.
- Bake the quiche for ~25 minutes, or until browned and set.
- Remove the quiche from the oven, allow to cool, and enjoy!
