    * 400 g Pumpkin or Butternut Squash cut into 2 cm cubes
    * 1 tbsp Olive Oil
    * 4 Eggs
    * 300 ml Whipping Cream

    # Instructions

    # Pastry

    * Place the flour and salt in the bowl of a food processor and blend for a few seconds to mix. Add the cold butter and pulse until you achieve fine crumbs.
    * Slowly add the cold water while blending continue to blend until the dough starts to come together.
    * Assemble into a ball, place between two sheets of baking paper then roll the pastry into a large disk about 1/6 to 1/8 inch thick. Place the pastry inside the tart pan. Dock the pastry with the tines of a fork then place back in the fridge for at least 1 hour.
    * Preheat oven to 350 F and blind-bake for 20 minutes – 10 minutes covered with baking paper and baking weights then 10 minutes uncovered. Take out of the oven and set aside.

    # Quiche Filling

    * Cut the pumpkin into small cubes, place them on a baking tray, drizzle with the oil and bake in an oven preheated to 350 F for about 20 minutes or until soft. Set aside and keep the oven on.
    * In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, cream, salt, pepper, nutmeg and maple syrup.
    * Place the roasted pumpkin cubes and the feta cheese in the bottom of the partially blind-baked pastry. Cover with egg mixture.
    * Bake for 40 minutes at 350 F, or until the quiche filling has set. Leave to cool down slightly before serving.
