Roasted Pumpkin Quiche with Caramelized Onions, Gorgonzola, and Sage

Ingredients:

1 tablespoon olive oil

2 cups onion, sliced

Water as needed

2 cups pumpkin or butternut squash, peeled and cut into bite-sized pieces

1 tablespoon olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

8 sheets phyllo dough, thawed as directed on package

1/4 cup olive oil (for brushing phyllo)

4 eggs, lightly beaten

1 cup half and half (or a mix of 1/2 milk and 1/2 heavy cream)

2 ounces gorgonzola or other blue cheese, crumbled

1 tablespoon fresh sage, thinly sliced

Directions:

Caramelize the Onions: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and sauté until tender, about 10-15 minutes.

Slow Cook the Onions: Reduce the heat slightly, add 1/4 cup water, cover, and cook the onions for an additional 50 minutes until they turn a deep golden brown, stirring every 10 minutes for the first 30 minutes, then every 5 minutes thereafter. Add more water as needed to prevent drying.

Roast the Pumpkin: Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Toss the pumpkin or butternut squash with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread evenly on a baking sheet and roast until tender, about 30-40 minutes. Set aside once done.

Prepare the Phyllo Crust: Increase the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C). Brush a sheet of phyllo dough with olive oil and place it into the bottom of a greased 9-inch pie dish or springform pan, letting the edges hang over the side. Repeat with the remaining phyllo sheets, layering them on top of each other.

Assemble the Quiche: In a large mixing bowl, combine the caramelized onions, roasted pumpkin, eggs, half and half, gorgonzola, and sage. Pour the mixture into the prepared phyllo crust.

Bake: Bake the quiche in the preheated oven for 25-45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the center is set. Let cool slightly before serving.
