Butternut Squash and Goat Cheese Quiche with Rosemary

Admin

An easy quiche that uses seasonal vegetables and flavors for a nourishing meal.

Butternut Squash and Goat Cheese Quiche with Rosemary

This past Thanksgiving, I wanted a lunch that was light, satisfying, and seasonal before our big turkey feast. I was going to go with a salad, but I didn’t feel like doing all the chopping and finding one salad to feed many mouths with different tastebuds is difficult.

That’s when I decided on a quiche! Nothing fancy here, just a seasonal veggie, eggs, cheese, and some fresh herbs. Oh, and premade crusts for the win! We’re not trying to be heroes here, we just want to get something nourishing on the table that is also delicious.

When you’re searching for a premade crust, try to be mindful of the ingredients but don’t drive yourself crazy – each bite has minimal crust and the real star here is the egg, goat cheese, butternut squash, and rosemary filling!

A few ways you can change this up would be to:

  • add a meat (like a crumbled sausage would be great here)
  • a different cheese (cheddar of feta!)
  • change the vegetable (broccoli, sweet potatoes, or asparagus!)

I hope you try this quiche out this winter and make it your own, as always.
