Pumpkin and mushrooms come together in a creamy, melt-in-your-mouth quiche that’s perfect for fall. The pumpkin is roasted until tender, while the mushrooms and shallots are sautéed to bring out all their flavor. Layered in a shortcrust pastry with a creamy ricotta filling, parsley and a touch of nutmeg, this quiche is generous, comforting and beautifully balanced. Serve it warm with a green salad for dinner, then save a slice for lunch the next day.
