Pumpkin Quiche and Other September Recipes: 5 Easy Sweet and Savory Ideas

From pumpkin quiche to seasonal vegetable first courses and a refreshing grape dessert: discover 5 easy and delicious September recipes, perfect for ushering in the transition from summer to autumn.

Sweet and savory recipes for September

Pumpkin, mushrooms, peppers, eggplant, and grapes are some of the ingredients you can bring to the table in September. A blend of flavors that perfectly captures this time of year, when late summer vegetables meet the first autumn produce, allowing you to prepare colorful, delicious, and flavorful dishes.

Pumpkin and chard quiche

Pumpkin and chard quiche is a savory pie bursting with flavor and color, perfect for introducing pumpkin into your September menus. Its soft filling pairs beautifully with the fragrant crust, while the chard adds a pleasant vegetal note.

Smart tip: before serving, let it rest for a few minutes outside the oven: the filling will have time to settle and you'll be able to cut more precise slices without the risk of them breaking.

Madeleine salate

Savory madeleines are soft, shell-shaped morsels, perfect for when you want to bring something delicious and different to the table. Serve them slightly warm to fully appreciate their texture and aroma.

Smart tip: Don't overfill the molds: leave some room for the mixture to rise during baking, so the madeleines will maintain a more regular and inviting shape.

Pasta with pumpkin and mushrooms

Pumpkin and mushroom pasta combines two ingredients that immediately make you think of autumnal first courses. The sweetness of pumpkin meets the distinctive flavor of mushrooms, creating a creamy and flavorful sauce. Smart tip: reserve a ladleful of the pasta cooking water and add it while stirring: it will help bind the sauce together better and make it creamy without weighing it down.

Fusilli with peppers and aubergines

Fusilli with peppers and eggplant lets you enjoy two of summer's great favorites, even in September. The rich vegetable sauce perfectly envelops the fusilli, creating a colorful and flavorful dish.

Smart tip: brown the vegetables thoroughly without constantly turning them: leaving them in contact with the pan for a few moments will result in a more golden surface and less stewed vegetables.

Strawberry grape ice cream in a wafer

Strawberry grape ice cream in a waffle cone brings all the flavor of a seasonal fruit to your dessert. Served in a crispy waffle cone, this strawberry grape ice cream is a refreshing and original dessert. Smart tip: take the ice cream out of the freezer a few minutes before serving, so it's easier to form creamy balls and place them in the waffle cone without breaking it.
