50 gr feta cheese
1 sheet shortcrust pastry
20 gr butter

Cut the pumpkin into cubes of 1.5 x 1.5 cm. Put the butter in a pan and stew the pumpkin for 3 minutes. Then add the Brussels sprouts and stew together for another 5 minutes. At the end, also add the finely chopped sage leaves. Season with white pepper and salt.
Preheat the oven to 200º. Line a pie tin with the shortcrust pastry. Poke holes in the dough with a fork. Place a sheet of baking paper on top along with baking beads or dry beans. Just bake this dough for 8 minutes at 200º. Then remove the cake tin from the oven, remove the baking beads and let cool briefly.
Beat the eggs together with the milk, baking powder and some salt and pepper.
Place the Brussels sprouts and pumpkin in the mold. Pour the egg mixture over it. Make sure this is evenly distributed over the mould. Crumble the feta and sprinkle it over the cake. Finally, sprinkle the pumpkin seeds over the cake.
Place in the oven and bake for 25 minutes at 180º -200º

Notes

This quiche is an ideal choice for lovers of savory dishes. The sweet, taste of pumpkin harmonizes perfectly with the slightly bitter notes of Brussels sprouts, creating a balanced taste. Moreover, this dish is not only tasty, but also nutritious because of the healthy vegetables in it.

Pumpkin:

Known for its vibrant orange color and sweet flavor, pumpkin is packed with nutrients. It is a rich source of fiber, which promotes digestion and increases the feeling of satiety. Additionally, pumpkin is an excellent source of vitamin A, which is essential for healthy skin and a strong immune system. With added antioxidants, consuming pumpkin regularly helps reduce inflammation and maintain good eye health.

Sprouts:

Sprouts, while perhaps not always loved, are a true superfood. These little cabbages are packed with vitamin K, which is essential for good blood clotting and bone health. In addition, sprouts provide a significant amount of vitamin C, a powerful antioxidant that strengthens the immune system and supports collagen formation. They are also rich in fiber, which contributes to healthy digestion.
