Butternut Squash and Goat Cheese Quiche





I had leftover filling from my butternut squash mini galettes and I also had frozen some tart pie dough that I had made a couple weeks ago. Easy easy.

Basic recipe for quiche:

Ingredients:
tart pie dough or any dough of your choice or store bought pre-made dough
filling of your choice (it can be something as simple as gruyere cheese or chives or steamed asparagus with goat cheese
2 egg yolks
1 egg
1 cup heavy cream (or milk if you don't want to consume heavy cream calories...but I recommend the heavy cream)
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

1. preheat oven to 340
2. whisk together egg, egg yolks, and cream
3. add nutmeg
4. arrange filling of your choice in a half baked tart pastry
*note, if you don't want to bother making your own dough you can buy puff pastry, fit it into a cake pan, bake it at 400 for about 15 minutes and then fill it and bake until done
5. pour the egg mixture over the filling
6. bake in the oven for 30 minutes
