Autumn Vegetable Crusty Quiche

By: Lee Holmes

A hearty and nutritious quiche is the perfect way to welcome the autumn season. Packed with seasonal vegetables and encased in a wholesome crust, the combination of roasted butternut pumpkin, kale and caramelised onions provides depth, while the eggs and Greek yoghurt create a creamy, protein-rich filling. This quiche is not only a satisfying meal, it’s also a great way to incorporate more vegetables into your diet.
