My first Butternut Squash is a hit. Try this quiche and I promise you will fall in love with squash. Really.
Ingredients
500gr Cubed (1 square inch cubes) Butternut Squash
4 Tbsp Vegetable/ Coconut Oil
½ Cup Boiled/ thawed and chopped Spinach
2 Tbsp Spelt or All Purpose Flour
½ Tbsp Baking Powder
¼ tsp Ground Nutmeg
3 Tbsp Cottage Cheese
4 Eggs
⅓ cup Milk
2 Garlic Cloves – Minced
½ tsp Salt
Pepper to taste
½ Cup Soft Goat Cheese (chèvre) – Crumbled into medium chunks
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375F (190C) and layer baking pan with parchment paper
In a medium bowl mix the squash cubes with the oil until fully covered and place on baking sheet in one layer
Place inside preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until cubes are a bit tender and golden
Lower oven temperature to 350F (175C) and oil spray (or butter) and flour a 9 inch round pie pan (or Pyrex)
Layer the baked squash in one layer on the bottom of the pie pan
Place the goat cheese crumbs in between squash cubes in the pan and continue to prepare quiche batter
In a medium bowl mix in the rest of the ingredients until fully combined. When fully combined pour batter on top of the squash and goat cheese layer to fully cover it.
Place inside preheated oven for 35-45 minutes until quiche top is nice and brown and the quiche is solid and stable when you touch it.
