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.

ROASTED TOMATO, BASIL & PARMESAN QUICHE

Steps:

• To make the pastry, tip the flour and butter into a bowl, then rub together with your fingertips until completely mixed and crumbly. Add 8 tbsp cold water, then bring everything together with your hands until just combined. Roll into a ball and use straight away or chill for up to 2 days. The pastry can also be frozen for up to a month.
• Roll out the pastry on a lightly floured surface to a round about 5cm larger than a 25cm tin. Use your rolling pin to lift it up, then drape over the tart case so there is an overhang of pastry on the sides. Using a small ball of pastry scraps, push the pastry into the corners of the tin. Chill in the fridge or freezer for 20 mins. Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6.
• In a small roasting tin, drizzle the tomatoes with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Put the tomatoes in a low shelf of the oven.
• Lightly prick the base of the tart with a fork, line the tart case with a large circle of greaseproof paper or foil, then fill with baking beans. Blind-bake the tart for 20 mins, remove the paper and beans, then continue to cook for 5-10 mins until biscuit brown.
• When you remove the tart case from the oven, take out the tomatoes, too.
• While the tart is cooking, beat the eggs in a large bowl. Gradually add the cream, then stir in the basil and season. When the case is ready, sprinkle half the cheese over the base, scatter over the tomatoes, pour over the cream mix, then finally scatter over the rest of the cheese. Bake for 20-25 mins until set and golden brown. Leave to cool in the case, trim the edges of the pastry, then remove from the tin. Scatter over the remaining basil and serve in slices.

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.

TOMATO BASIL AND GOAT CHEESE QUICHE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350. Rub the butter over the crust and sprinkle with the bread crumbs. This will help prevent the crust from getting soggy from the tomatoes. Layer the red tomatoes over the crumbs and sprinkle the goat cheese on top. In a bowl mix together the eggs, sour cream, milk, basil and garlic and season to taste with salt and pepper. Pour the mixture over the tomatoes and goat cheese. Lay the yellow tomatoes gently on top so that they sink in but you can still see them. Scatter some fresh basil leaves on top and top with the Parmesan. Bake for about 45 minutes until the center is set and the quiche is golden brown.
