Notes

Tips and Tricks

Roasting Pumpkin: Cut the pumpkin into smaller chunks before roasting to reduce cooking time and ensure even roasting.
Crust Pre-baking: Pre-bake the pie crust for a few minutes before adding the filling to prevent it from becoming soggy.
Filling Consistency: Ensure the pumpkin puree is well-drained and not overly watery to prevent the filling from being too moist.
Goat Cheese: Crumble the goat cheese evenly over the filling to ensure each slice has a good distribution of cheese.
Allow Cooling: Let the quiche cool for a few minutes after baking to allow it to set properly before slicing.
