Savory Roasted Pumpkin and Bacon Quiche
This week I roasted up an entire sugar pumpkin just to give you a tutorial on how to do it (click here to see the tutorial).
Today I decided to use the cubed and roasted pumpkin squares to make this delicious Savory Roasted Pumpkin and Bacon Quiche. I also think it would be fabulous with roasted butternut squash cubes.
The original inspiration for this quiche was from this recipe and my very favorite cracker crust favorite quiche from my Aunt Jane’s recipe. It’s versatile and you can add in different vegetables to dress it up.
I think for fall, pumpkin worked quite nicely.
