Tomato Basil Quiche With Goat Cheese Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F or 180°C.
• Lay the sheet of pastry dough over a 9-inch quiche pan, pressing the dough gently into the crimped edges. Cut away any excess dough so the pastry is level with the top of the pan.
• Prick the base of the pastry with a fork.
• Lay half the sliced tomatoes evenly over the pastry. Scatter half the cheese and chopped basil over the tomatoes. Repeat with the rest of the tomatoes, cheese and basil.
• Mix the eggs and cream together and season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Pour carefully over the other ingredients in the pastry shell, leaving a little space for the mixture to rise slightly in the oven.
• Bake in the oven for 40-45 minutes or until the egg mixture is cooked and set.
• Let stand for 5 minutes before cutting.
• Serve hot or cold!

Steps:

• Bake prepared dough at 375 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes, until lightly browned. Patch any small holes with leftover dough. Cool.
• Make the custard: in mixing bowl, beat eggs. Whisk in half-and-half, salt, pepper, lemon zest, thyme, scallions and parsley. Set aside.
• Set tart pan on a baking sheet. Spread goat cheese slices evenly over bottom of pastry. Beat custard once more and carefully pour into shell. Bake at 375 degrees for 30 to 35 minutes, until top is golden and custard is set. Cool for 10 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Bake pie shell in preheated oven for 8 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Saute onion until soft; remove from skillet. Sprinkle tomato slices with flour and basil, then saute 1 minute on each side. In a small bowl, whisk together eggs and milk. season with salt and pepper.
• Spread 1 cup shredded cheese in the bottom of pie crust. Layer onions over cheese, and top with tomatoes. Cover with egg mixture. sprinkle top with remaining 1/2 cup shredded cheese.
• Bake in preheated oven for 10 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C), and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until filling is puffed and golden brown. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Oil a 10-inch tart pan and line it with the pastry. Keep in the refrigerator while you prepare the filling.
• Brush the mustard over the bottom of the dough. Slice the tomatoes and arrange over the mustard in concentric circles, overlapping them slightly. Sprinkle with salt, pepper and the herbs.
• Beat together the eggs and goat cheese. Season with salt and pepper and pour over the tomatoes. Drizzle on the olive oil. Place in the oven and bake 30 to 40 minutes, until the top is nicely browned. Remove from the heat and allow to cool for 10 minutes before serving. Serve hot, warm or at room temperature.

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.

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.

Steps:

• Put oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. When it shimmers, add garlic and ginger and sauté until just fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Add onion and continue cooking until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
• Add tomatoes, sugar, salt, chile flakes, cayenne and 1 cup water. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 30 minutes or until flavors have melded. Using an immersion blender, purée soup until smooth. Add goat cheese and stir well until mixture is creamy but with a few evident crumbles of cheese. Ladle into bowls and serve.

Steps:

• Slice each tomatoe into about 4 thick slices.
• Arrange in single layer in shallow baking dish or microwave safe dish.
• Thinly slice goat cheese, arrange over tomatoes.
• Sprinkle with pepper to taste, then basil.
• Broil for 2 to 3 minutes or microwave on high 100% power for 2 minutes or until cheese melts.
