Butternut Squash and Kale Quiche!!! Celebrate the flavors of fall with this delicious and savory quiche! Packed with roasted butternut squash, kale and gruyere cheese!
My sister, Grace, and I love quiche. And butternut squash. We’d always hit up the local La Madeleine’s in Dallas and our orders would be the same every single time. I would order their caesar salad with grilled chicken and Grace would order their quiche lorraine or quiche florentine. We would, of course, balance our meals out with plenty of their homemade bread and some cookies.
Often times when I’m baking something for the blog, sweet or savory, I’ll save some and freeze it so I can take it to my sister. The last time my father was here in town, he was going to take the bus from Madison to Minneapolis to go visit my sister for a few days. I bought his bus ticket online and packed, I kid you not, like 6 or 7 things for my dad to take to my sister. Cookies, pie, cheesecake, and some of this Butternut Squash and Kale quiche.
Well, I screwed up royally and took my dad to the wrong bus stop, for Greyhound, the bus stop location that is listed online isn’t actually the correct location. If I had looked at the bus ticket that I printed out, I would have seen that the bus stop location was different. . I just looked at the address listed online on their website. . silly me!
So, my dad never made it to Minnesota that day. And everything promptly went back into the freezer, except this quiche. My parents ate all of it so I need to bake a new one when I’m with my sister and her family for the upcoming holidays!
Looking for a great, savory quiche that’s packed with butternut squash and kale? This is it!
This quiche is made with 
I hope you give this quiche a try this holiday season! You won’t regret it. . it’s absolutely delicious!!! I used a store bought frozen pie shell here to keep it simple, but if you have the time, make your own! Here’s my recipe for 
Poor you for not getting your dad to the right bus stop! Sounds like something I would do 🙂 I always tell my husband that I was much more clever before I had my kids (no jokes..haha!). This quiche looks super delicious and I´m sure your sister and her family will love it when they finally do get to eat it 🙂
This is totally fate, Alice. I was at Trader Joe’s yesterday and bought both butternut squash and kale without really deciding what I would do with it. And I have a pie crust in the freezer. And a ton of eggs. Hellooooo, dinner! I wasn’t really committed to that spaghetti tonight anyway. 🙂
As for La Madeleine, there’s one way too close to my work. Dangerous!
Squash and kale in a quiche? Sign me up! This sounds like a delicious dinner or even breakfast, Alice! I love the cozy fall ingredients! Yum!
Look at all that kale 🙂 🙂 🙂
I am on such a kale kick at the moment, so any new ways I can eat it make me happy!
Haha! I totally would have done the same thing as you and looked at the address online. In your defense, the site should list BOTH locations! So nice of you to always keep portions of great dishes in your freezer for your sister! I love quiche too and this butternut squash and kale quiche looks absolutely delicious! I need a nice big breakfast on holiday mornings because my family doesn’t eat until 3ish, so this would be perfect! Pinned! Cheers, Alice!
Wow..this Kale Quiche looks awesome. Just perfect. Great post. Love reading it. 🙂
Oh, sorry your dad got at the wrong bus stop that day Alice! I love quiche and this looks like the perfect combination for me! Looks amazing! Pinning!
I love that you packed your dad with food to bring to your sister’s! Even though the quiche didn’t quite make it over there, I’m glad you all got to enjoy it! It looks wonderful, Alice, and I love Davidson’s eggs!
Hahha Greyhound is the most confusing company…but the best when it comes to buses. Glad you were able to salvage the rest of the treats for your sister. This quiche looks amazing!! And I love Davidson’s eggs!
Thank you, Zainab!!!
The bus stop incident sounds like something I would do. Well at least you guys had this awesome quiche to enjoy when you got home! I’ve never had such a perfectly seasonal quiche like this – such wonderful flavors and I love your pictures!
So sweet that you pack goodies for your sister…sorry your dad didn’t make it that day but so glad he got to enjoy this delicious quiche 🙂 Love all the flavors and that you used Davidson’s eggs! It looks incredible!
What a delicious quiche, Alice! These slices look just fantastic. Besides, squash and kale are the healthy ingredients so it’s totally okay to finish the meal with cookies (double amount):)
Gah, what a day!! But yay quiche! Butternut squash is my fav!
I haven’t made quiche in awhile and this certainly has inspired me to get cracking. I’m actually thinking about making this ahead of time and eating it for breakfast on Thanksgiving morning! Most would think “how on earth could you be thinking about what you’re going to have for breakfast on Thanksgiving”? I just politely tell them not to judge. Love your bus story! Happy your parents got that quiche reward in the end!
I think the most satisfying part of baking is when the parents love it! Baking more is just a sign that it was great. Sorry about your dad not making it to Minnesota that day; at least he was able to enjoy the quiche!! Thanks for sharing – can’t wait to try. 🙂
This looks like the perfect, perfect fall quiche – I never would have thought of this ingredient combo, but of course it looks just scrumptious! Happy Thanksgiving, Alice. 🙂
I haven’t had quiche in SO long and you’re seriously giving me the biggest craving right now! Love the combo of butternut squash and kale in this beauty!
I am ALL about anything with winter squash. And then eggs and kale? Did you make this quiche just for ME!? Seriously, I want a few slices of this for breakfast right now! Pinned!
I love that you added butternut squash to a quiche! Quiche is one of my favorite dinners, and this one looks absolutely delicious!
Ah, so sorry to hear your dad was at the wrong stop!
This quiche – right up my alley.
I can’t resist a good quiche! There is a place in my town that always has a quiche as their special and I order it every single time. I love the addition of the butternut squash and fresh kale. I want to eat this for breakfast, lunch and dinner!
Quiche and butternut squash are basically 2 of my favorite things. This is amazing.
There is nothing on this planet more comforting than a quiche, unless it’s a quiche made with butternut squash 🙂
Oh yum, this looks so good! I love butternut squash and kale. And quiche. Pinning!
I love quiche and butternut squash too, this is perfection!
What a perfect fall quiche! I am drooling over these photos. Beautiful and delicious!!
This is beautiful Alice!! I can’t stop cooking with butternut squash at the moment, it’s one of my favourite ingredients! Such a great idea to use it in a quiche, I haven’t tried that before! And I love that you paired it with kale!
Thank you so much!!! I’m all about butternut squash right now too! Trying to put it in everything!
This is my new favorite quiche. It’s colorful, healthy, and looks SO tasty.
Butternut Squash and Kale is such a good combo! It makes eating kale so easy! LOL!
Oh no! Why wouldn’t the address online match up with the ticket? Tricky! I can definitely relate with transporting food both near and far. My mom flew across the country last month with a few loaves of pumpkin and apple breads in her carry-on so I could taste test her experiments in gluten-free baking. They were really good! And this quiche is my kind of dish – I think I’d eat it for any meal of the day. 🙂
