Tarragon and Thyme Quiche image

One of the very few recipes I've seen that use tarragon. My favorite is with smoked Swiss cheese, bacon, almond milk, graham cracker crust and all of the other optional ingredients.

Time 1h

Yield 4-6 Pie shaped wedges, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 eggs, if using a 9-inch pie shell or 5 eggs, if using a 10-inch pie shell
2/3 cup coconut milk, if using a 9-inch pie shell or 3/4 cup milk, if using a 10-inch pie shell
1 (9 inch) chocolate crumb pie shell or 1 (10 inch) pie crusts
4 ounces gouda cheese (shredded or sliced 1/16 inch thick) or 6 ounces cheese, if using a 10-inch pie shell
1/4 lb cooked chicken (optional) or 1/4 lb cooked shrimp, diced (optional)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/3 cup bell pepper, chopped (optional)
1/3 cup onion, chopped (optional)
1/3 cup celery, chopped (optional)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper (optional)
1/8 teaspoon white pepper (optional)
1/8 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper (optional)
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme or 1 1/2 teaspoons fresh thyme, finely chopped
1 teaspoon dried tarragon or 1 tablespoon fresh tarragon, finely chopped

Steps:

  • Line the pie crust (I like graham cracker crust best, gives the quiche a slightly sweet flavor) with the smoked cheese. Other cheeses can be used, but the smoked cheeses, whatever type, gives the quiche a superior flavor over that of plain cheeses.
  • If you like your vegetables a bit less crunchy, lightly saute the onions, bell peppers, and celery.
  • Mix all ingredients except meat together and pour into pie shell.
  • Sprinkle with meat.
  • Cover with tin foil and bake at 350 degrees for 50 to 60 minutes for a 9-inch pie shell, or 60 to 75 minutes for a 10-inch pie shell, turning quiche one-half turn halfway through cooking, or until egg in center is set.
  • Remove tinfoil and broil 2 to 5 minutes until lightly browned on top (this is just for appearance).

This quiche is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I often add chopped broccoli, spinach, or zucchini to the filling. It's also a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables.

I'm not a big fan of quiche, but I thought this one was pretty good. The flavors of the tarragon and thyme were subtle but noticeable, and the filling was creamy and rich. I would definitely make this again.

I would recommend this quiche to others, but I would suggest making a few changes to the recipe. For example, I would use less tarragon and more thyme. I would also add more seasoning and liquid to the filling.

Overall, I thought this quiche was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't great either.

The quiche was a little too time-consuming to make. I think I could have found a quicker recipe elsewhere.

The quiche was a little too quichey for my taste. I prefer a more custard-like filling.

The quiche was a little dry. I think it could have used more liquid, like milk or cream.

The quiche was a little bland. I think it could have used more seasoning.

This quiche was a little too heavy on the tarragon for my taste. I would have preferred a more balanced flavor profile.

This quiche is a great way to use up leftover herbs. I had some tarragon and thyme in my garden that was starting to go to seed, so I decided to make this quiche. It was a delicious way to use up my herbs and it was a hit with my family.

I was a little hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a big fan of tarragon, but I'm so glad I did! The tarragon and thyme complement each other perfectly and the quiche was absolutely delicious.

This quiche was so easy to make and it turned out perfect! The flavors of the tarragon and thyme really shine through. I served it with a simple green salad and it was the perfect meal.

I've made this quiche several times now and it's always a hit! The tarragon and thyme give it a unique and delicious flavor. I usually add some chopped bacon or ham, and sometimes I'll use a different type of cheese, like Gruyère or goat cheese.
