Gluten Free Butternut Squash with Sage Quiche

USA Recipe! This delicious Gluten Free Butternut Squash with Sage Quiche has all the flavors for fall or winter.

When I start seeing butternut in the market, the first thing I do is make Gluten Free Butternut Squash with Sage Quiche. I love the taste of fall with dishes made from pumpkin, cinnamon, cabbage, dried raisin, but most of all the wonderful butternut squash. To me, it's as sweet as candy this time of year.

It's an easy crust to make with all the flavors of fall wrapped into one dish. One of the things I love most about this quiche is the rich flavors that are all mixed together. Nothing beats a quiche for lunch or dinner with a salad to complete a meal.

How to Make the Crust

1. Mix the batter, roll it out and place in a pie pan.
2. Keep in the refrigerator until ready to pour the quiche filling.

Gluten Free Butternut Squash with Sage Quiche

It is the perfect lunch of dinner during the winter months. One of the things I usually do is freeze some pieces for us to bring for lunch. It is always great for lunch at work. I usually make two so there is plenty for everyone. I hope you enjoy this recipe.

How to Make the Filling

1. Get the strips of thick maple bacon from Apple Gate (they are the best!)
2. Take your bacon and cut into small pieces, place it in the pan and let it get crisp.
3. When it’s done place on a plate.
4. Take the spanish and cook in the same pan you cook the bacon.
5. Drain some of the fat and cook your spinach in that pan.
6. In a glass pan pour the olive oil, then place your squash, sprinkle the sage salt and pepper and mix.
7. Place in the oven for 20 minutes at 375º
8. In a bowl mix 1 tablespoon rice flour, large eggs, 1 cup of half/half.
9. Take your squash, bacon and spinach and mix it all together.
10. Pour into the pie crust.
11. Then take you’re your wet ingredients and pour on top.
12. Crumble the goat cheese on top.
13. Sprinkle salt and pepper on top and place in the oven.
14. Bake at 375º until slightly puffed, set, and browned in places, about 40 minutes.

Tip

One of my favorite things about making a quiche is that it's great for lunch, dinner or even breakfast. I make 2 every time and slice individually and freeze. That way I can just grab for lunch of dinner when there is no time to cook.
