Tomato-Basil Quiche With Goat Cheese image

I alwaysmake this for brunch parties, and everybody seems to love it. I get a lot of requests for the recipe, so now I can give my friends & family the RZ link. I use a frozen pie crust to keep it easy, but it would be even better with your favorite home-made pie crust. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

Time 1h10m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 frozen pie shell (9-inch, preferably deep-dish)
3 eggs
1 1/2 cups half-and-half
1 roma tomato
5 fresh basil leaves
1/4 cup goat cheese (approximately 4 oz)
1 dash nutmeg
salt and pepper

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.

The quiche was a little too runny for me. I think I would have baked it for a few minutes longer.

The quiche was a little too dry for me. I think I would have added some more milk or cream.

The quiche was a little bland for my taste. I think I would have added some more salt and pepper.

This quiche was a little too cheesy for me. I think I would have preferred it with less goat cheese.

I used a gluten-free pie crust to make this quiche, and it turned out great! It was just as delicious as the regular version, and it was perfect for my gluten-free friends.

I'm not a fan of goat cheese, so I substituted feta cheese instead. It turned out great! The quiche was still flavorful and delicious.

This quiche was a little more challenging to make than I expected, but it was worth the effort. The flavors were amazing, and the crust was perfectly flaky. I'll definitely be making it again.

This quiche was a hit with my family! Even my kids, who are usually hesitant to try new foods, loved it. The goat cheese gave it a unique flavor that they really enjoyed.

I loved the simplicity of this quiche. It only requires a few ingredients, but it's packed with flavor. I especially loved the contrast between the tangy goat cheese and the sweet tomatoes.

This quiche was easy to make and turned out beautifully. I used a store-bought pie crust to save time, and it still came out perfect. The quiche was light and fluffy, and the flavors were well-balanced.

I'm not usually a fan of quiche, but this one changed my mind! The combination of tomatoes, basil, and goat cheese was perfect, and the crust was flaky and buttery. I'll definitely be making this again.

This quiche was incredibly flavorful and packed with delicious ingredients. The goat cheese added a tangy note, while the tomatoes and basil brought a burst of freshness. I'm already planning on making it again for my next brunch party!
