When it’s the season of all things pumpkin, we make pumpkin quiche. The addition of everyone’s favorite winter gourd to an eggy ensemble of goat cheese, spinach, cremini mushrooms, and chili powder make this classic egg pie extra creamy – and extra delicious.
Serve a slice of pumpkin quiche with an herbaceous side of Sauteed Zucchini with Mint, Basil, and Pine Nuts .

so yummy. I made this GF and DF, and added 2 extra eggs. With the crust I used, this made two smallish quiches. The only issue I ran across was the baking time needed to be significantly longer, however this quiche was so yummy. I would definitely make this again.
