Quiche With Herbs and Goat Cheese image

This green quiche laden with herbs and with thin slices of fresh goat cheese baked on top has a Gallic rusticity. A proper quiche (also known as a tarte salée, or savory open pie) should have really good pastry and contain a soft, tender eggy custard. It should be light enough to serve as a first course, or in larger portions for a simple main course. It should be something to sing about.

Short-crust dough (see recipe), rolled and chilled in a 9 1/2-inch tart pan

This quiche is a great make-ahead meal. I often make it on the weekend and then reheat it for breakfast or lunch during the week.

I'm a vegetarian, so I made this quiche without the bacon. It was still delicious! The herbs and goat cheese were enough to give it plenty of flavor.

This quiche is a great way to use up leftover herbs. I always have a bunch of herbs in my fridge that I don't know what to do with, so this recipe is perfect for me.
