Best 3 Fresh Tomato And Goats Cheese Quiche Recipes

PESTO, GOAT CHEESE, AND SUN-DRIED TOMATOES QUICHE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Spread pesto evenly in the bottom of the pie crust. Sprinkle goat cheese over pesto.
• In a large bowl, beat together eggs, half-and-half cream, and flour. Season with salt and pepper. Pour over goat cheese in pie crust. Arrange sun-dried tomatoes on top.
• Bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until done.

FRESH TOMATO AND GOATS CHEESE QUICHE

Steps:

• Sift flour and salt into a bowl, add parmesan and rub in the butter until it resembles breadcrumbs.
• Add 2-3 tbsp of cold water, and briefly knead to make a smooth dough. Wrap in cling film and chill for 20 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 200C/gas 6/fan oven 180°C Put a baking tray into the oven.
• Use pastry to line a 23cm/9in loose bottomed flan tin. Prick base with a fork, line with greaseproof paper and fill with baking beans. Bake on the hot baking tray for 10 minutes.
• Remove beans and paper and bake for 10 minutes.
• Set aside. Reduce oven to 180C/Gas 4/fan oven 160°C.
• Fry the Shallot and garlic in the oil for 4 minutes.
• Mix with tomatoes and parsley in a bowl. Spoon into pastry.
• Break the eggs into the bowl, whisk with mustard, double cream, chilli sauce and seasoning. Pour this over the filling, top with the goats cheese and bake for 30-35 minutes until golden.
• Allow to cool slightly before serving.

TOMATO-BASIL QUICHE WITH GOAT CHEESE

Steps:

• Blind-bake the pie shell according to package directions (approximately 12 - 15 minutes at 375 for the type I use. I also use pie weights to keep the crust from puffing.) Set crust aside to cool for approximately 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, slice the Roma tomato thinly and let it sit on a paper towel to draw out some liquid. Chiffonade the basil leaves (i.e., roll them up and slice them into thin strands.).
• Crumble the goat cheese into the warm pie shell, distributing it evenly over the bottom. It's okay if it begins to melt a bit.
• Layer the tomato slices in one layer over the goat cheese. Sprinkle the basil leaves over the top evenly. Top with a dash of nutmeg and some salt and pepper.
• Whisk the eggs with the half and half thoroughly. Pour the egg mixture into the pie shell carefully. (I like to do this when the pan in on the oven rack to avoid any spillage.).
• Bake at 325 for 40 - 50 minutes, until the top is slightly puffed and lightly browned. Keep an eye on the crust - halfway through baking (or even earlier) you'll need to use a pie-guard or tin foil to cover the crust so it doesn't get too brown. Allow the quiche to cool a bit before serving. It is best slightly warm, but not hot.
