Fresh Tomato And Goats Cheese Quiche Food

TOMATO AND GOAT CHEESE QUICHE

Steps:

• In food processor with knife blade attached, blend flour, sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Add butter; pulse until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle in ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, pulsing after each addition, until large moist crumbs just begin to form.
• Shape dough into disk; wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate 30 minutes or overnight. (If overnight, remove from refrigerator 30 minutes before rolling.)
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. On lightly floured surface, with floured rolling pin, roll dough into 13-inch round. Ease dough round into deep 10-inch (2-quart) quiche plate; gently press against bottom and up side of plate without stretching. Trim edges of dough. Freeze 15 minutes.
• Line quiche shell with foil and fill with pie weights, dried beans, or uncooked rice. Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until dry to touch. Remove foil and weights; bake 10 to 15 minutes longer or until golden brown. Place crust on jelly-roll pan.
• While crust bakes, in 12-inch skillet, heat oil on medium. Add onions, cayenne, and 1/8 teaspoon salt. Cook 6 to 8 minutes or until tender, stirring occasionally.
• In large bowl, whisk eggs until blended. Whisk in milk until smooth. Stir in goat cheese, tomatoes, cooked onions, and 1/8 teaspoon salt. Carefully pour mixture into hot crust.
• Bake 30 to 35 minutes longer or until edges are set and center jiggles slightly. Let cool on wire rack until warm or room temperature. Garnish with parsley.

TOMATO AND GOAT CHEESE TARTS

Steps:

• Unfold a sheet of puff pastry on a lightly floured surface and roll it lightly to an 11 by 11-inch square. Using a 6-inch wide saucer or other round object as a guide, cut 2 circles from the sheet of puff pastry, discarding the scraps. Repeat with the second pastry sheet to make 4 circles in all. Place the pastry circles on 2 sheet pans lined with parchment paper and refrigerate until ready to use.
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium to low heat and add the onions and garlic. Saute for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring frequently, until the onions are limp and there is almost no moisture remaining in the skillet. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, the wine, and thyme and continue to cook for another 10 minutes, until the onions are lightly browned. Remove from the heat.
• Using a sharp paring knife, score a 1/4-inch-wide border around each pastry circle. Prick the pastry inside the score lines with the tines of a fork and sprinkle a tablespoon of grated Parmesan on each round, staying inside the scored border.
• Place 1/4 of the onion mixture on each circle, again staying within the scored edge. Crumble 1 ounce of goat cheese on top of the onions. Place a slice of tomato in the center of each tart. Brush the tomato lightly with olive oil and sprinkle with basil, salt, and pepper. Finally, scatter 4 or 5 shards of Parmesan on each tart.
• Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until the pastry is golden brown. The bottom sheet pan may need an extra few minutes in the oven. Serve hot or warm.

GOAT CHEESE QUICHE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and cook until softened, about 1 minute. Add the greens and 1/2 teaspoon salt; cook, stirring occasionally, until the greens wilt and most of the liquid evaporates, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Meanwhile, roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface until large enough to fit in a 9-inch pie plate. Ease into the pie plate and trim the edge; crimp if desired. Scatter the goat cheese and Parmesan in the crust, then top with the sauteed greens.
• Whisk the eggs, heavy cream, nutmeg, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a medium bowl; pour over the greens. Bake until the crust is golden brown and the quiche is set, about 20 minutes. Slice into wedges.

QUICHE WITH HERBS AND GOAT CHEESE

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.

GARDEN VEGETABLE & GOAT'S CHEESE QUICHE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to fan 170C/ conventional 190C/gas 5. Melt the butter in a medium saucepan and cook the green vegetables and onions for 5 minutes, stirring until starting to soften. Tip the milk and flour into the pan and stir over the heat until it thickens to a smooth sauce. Cool for 5 minutes or so, stirring to stop a skin forming.
• Beat the eggs into the sauce and generously season. Pour into the pastry case and scatter with the goat's cheese and tomatoes.
• Bake for 40 minutes until the filling is set, turning golden. Cool for a few minutes before taking from the tin. Serve with a green salad.

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.
