Ingredients
  

For the Filling
  • 1 medium Butternut Squash Roasted until tender for best flavor.
  • 2 tablespoons Sage Substitute with rosemary or thyme for different flavors.
  • 1 cup Cheese (Gruyère, Swiss, Aged Cheddar, or Fontina) Gruyère is preferred for its nutty flavor.
  • 4 Eggs Main custard component.
  • 1 cup Milk or Cream Whole milk is a good option; heavy cream increases indulgence.
For the Crust
  • 1 Pie Crust (homemade or store-bought) Homemade offers flakiness; store-bought saves time.

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. If using homemade crust, combine cold butter with flour until resembling coarse crumbs. Chill for 30 minutes, roll out, and fit into pie dish. Blind bake for about 15 minutes until lightly golden.
  3. Cut butternut squash into cubes, drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and roast for 25-30 minutes in the preheated oven until tender.
  4. In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and minced onions. Cook for 5-7 minutes until translucent and caramelized.
  5. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs and milk (or cream), season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Stir in cheese until fully incorporated.
  6. Gently fold roasted squash and sautéed onions into the egg mixture, then pour the filling into the prepared pie crust.
  7. Bake in the oven for 35-40 minutes until custard is set and top is golden brown. Check towards the end to avoid over-baking.
  8. Remove from the oven and cool for about 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
