Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss pumpkin cubes with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast for 25–30 minutes until soft and golden.
In a pan over low heat, melt butter and cook onions for 25–30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until deeply caramelized.
Prepare the crust: in a bowl or food processor, mix flour and salt. Cut in butter until crumbly. Add ice water a tablespoon at a time until dough holds together. Roll out and press into a 9-inch tart or pie pan. Prick bottom and blind-bake at 375°F (190°C) for 10–12 minutes. Cool slightly.
In a bowl, whisk eggs, cream, milk, salt, and pepper.
Layer roasted pumpkin, caramelized onions, and gorgonzola in the crust.
Pour egg mixture over filling and sprinkle with herbs if using.
Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 35–40 minutes, or until center is set and top is golden.
Let rest 10–15 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

Use butternut squash as an alternative to pumpkin.

Blind-baking the crust prevents sogginess.

Add bacon, pancetta, or nuts for variation.

Make crustless for a gluten-free version.

Quiche can be served warm, room temp, or cold.
