This post is sponsored in conjunction with PumpkinWeek . I received product samples from Cabot Cheese and Eggland’s Best to aid in the creation of the PumpkinWeek recipes. All opinions are mine alone.
Full of the flavors of fall, Pumpkin Quiche is full of pumpkin and white cheddar flavor and lightly spiced with ginger, ground cloves, and nutmeg.
Don’t miss out on the pumpkin week giveaway!
One of our all time favorite dishes is quiche. So when Eggland’s Best and Cabot Cheese were sponsors for Pumpkin Week my husband was excited because he suggested the first thing that popped in his head- quiche!
I thought it was kind of weird at first and tried to think about what to do with the quiche. What I ended up with was something so simple that it was silly. I used pumpkin puree in with the regular quiche mix and it turned out fabulous.
What other ingredients would go well with pumpkin quiche?
This time, we kept it plain but we were thinking that it would be really good with ham or chopped polska kielbasa if you were wanting to add meat to the mix.
Sauteed onions and jalapenos would also be a really great combo with the pumpkin.
What is blind baking?
In the directions, I guided you through the process of blind baking. Blind baking is used to help the crust dry out before placing the wet filling in. This process helps prevent the bottom crust from being completely soggy even after having been baked for almost an hour.
The biggest danger with blind baking is the crust over baking during the second time in the oven. Use a silicone pie shield or fashion covers out of tin foil to cover the edge of the crust to prevent it from browning too much.

Ingredients
- 1 lg pie crust blind baked
For the quiche:
- 2 Tbsp dry minced onion
- 2 cups white cheddar cheese shredded
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 1 cup canned pumpkin not pumpkin pie filling
- 4 lg eggs beaten
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp ground ginger
- 1/8 tsp pepper
- 1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1/8 tsp ground cloves
Instructions
- To blind bake the empty pie crust, poke the bottom and sides of the crust with a fork. Cover entire pie crust with foil. Bake in a 450 degree oven for 8 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 4-5 minutes until the pastry is dry.
- Remove from oven and set off to the side. Reduce the oven to 325 degrees F.
- Meanwhile, combine all of the quiche ingredients in a large bowl until well combined. Pour into the blind baked pie crust.
- Bake at 325 degrees F for at least 50 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. If the crust begins to brown too quickly, cover with foil.
- Allow to cool slightly before slicing and serving.
