This vegetarian butternut squash quiche combines butternut squash, shallots, bell peppers and goat cheese in an egg custard. Served topped with arugula dressed in a balsamic vinaigrette.
Quiche is one of my favourite last-minute dinner ideas, and is also perfect for entertaining, as it can be made ahead and holds well. This meatless butternut squash quiche combines the squash with shallots, bell pepper and goat cheese.
I served this one with simple balsamic vinaigrette-dressed arugula on top, though you can enjoy it on the side, too.
Ingredients:
- 1 deep-dish frozen pie shell
For the quiche filling
- 2-3 teaspoons olive oil
- 1 red bell pepper, cored and diced
- 3 shallots, peeled and thinly sliced
- 2 cups butternut squash, fresh or frozen, peeled and diced

- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup half-and-half cream, 10% b.f.
- 2-3 Tablespoons fresh parsley, finely choped (or 1 Tbsp dried parsley)
- salt and freshly ground pepper
- 2-3 oz goat cheese, crumbled (or feta cheese, crumbled)
Arugula topping

- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
