  4. Sauté finely chopped onions in a skillet with olive oil over medium heat for 5-7 minutes until translucent.
  5. Whisk together eggs, heavy cream, grated Gruyère cheese, chopped sage, salt, and pepper in a large mixing bowl.
  6. Layer the roasted squash and sautéed onions in the blind-baked crust. Pour the egg mixture over the top.
  7. Bake quiche in the oven for 30-35 minutes until the filling is set and edges are golden brown.
  8. Allow quiche to cool for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving warm.
