Autumn in a quiche. Squash and pears are a wonderful combination – both are soft, palatable and slightly sweet. And if you're a fan of Gorgonzola, then we'd highly recommend adding a couple of pieces on top. Or goat's cheese, even. You can use hard cheese or soft cheese. The topping gives the quiche a tangy freshness.
