Last Sunday my friend came over for lunch. I thought that some kind of quiche or flan with salad would be ideal. I had already bought the butternut squash, so went off in search of a recipe that would incorporate this.
In the end my recipe is a kind of combination of a couple of different recipes. Some of the butternut squash flans were made by pureeing or squishing the squash! A bit like pumpkin pie, no texture, yuk!
My shortcrust pastry comes, as usual, from the Avoca Cookbook I have blogged it before HERE
I am also entering this in the October ‘No Croutons Required’ challenge over at Tinned Tomatoes, the theme is ‘squash’ and I’m hoping that this counts as ‘salad’.
Brownieville Girl says
I love the Avoca books too – great food (actually I love their cafes too!!)
I imagine that this quiche would be delicious – and perfect for this miserable weather.
Yolandi says
Awesome recipe!!!!!!! Will definitely make it again. I have a new favourite 😊
Janice Pattie says
Thanks for letting me know Yolandi, glad you like it as much as we do!
Dom at Belleau Kitchen says
Oh the quiche looks divine. I love the combo of vegetables. A lovely light recipe too!
Chele says
That is a great looking quiche and certainly has plenty of texture. I would happily tuck into a slice of this for dinner.
Karen S Booth says
THAT Janice, is DIVINE! I love tarts/quiches like this and it has all my favourite ingredients in it!
Great photo too……must enter that event this month, as I love squash.

Jacqueline says
Oh my goodness. I want a slice now!!!!
I am so glad you entered it too. Salad and quiche are one really aren't they? When you think quiche, you think salad.
Have you emialed it to me so I don't miss it when I do the roundup?
Anne says
Oooh it looks gorgeous! Love the combination of all those delicious ingredients!

Janice, I remember you talking about this on Twitter but it looks AMAZING!
I've never tried feta in a quiche before but I imagine it works really well with the peppers!
Beth (Jam and Clotted Cream) says
One word- YUM!!! My kind of quiche
Hannah says
This looks really great. I was just saying today that I love how versatile squash can be.
