Winter Squash, Onion and Gruyere Quiche image

A lovely and savory combination of flavors, this recipe appeared the day before Thanksgiving in our local newspaper, *The Bangor Daily News*. Made it several days later to serve with leftover turkey, using Swiss rather than Gruyere to save money. We were more than satisfied!
