Ingredients

How to make it

  • Cook the bacon in a heavy skillet until crisp.
  • Drain on paper towels.
  • Pour out and discard all but one tablespoon of the bacon fat.
  • Sauté the pumpkin slices in the remaining bacon fat on medium heat until just starting to soften, about 5 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and toss the pumpkin slices with 2/3 of the thyme.
  • In a bowl, beat the eggs briefly and then add the cream, salt and hot sauce, mixing well.
  • Lay the pumpkin slices in the pie shell.
  • Chop and add the bacon, then the cheeses, reserving 2 tablespoons of cheddar.
  • Pour in the egg mixture.
  • Scatter the remaining cheese and thyme over the quiche and bake about 30 minutes in a preheated 375º oven until a tester comes out clean.
  • If adding decorations to the quiche as shown in the photo, cook them until just tender beforehand and place them on the surface after the quiche has baked about 20 minutes and the custard has started to set up.
