EASY TOMATO BASIL QUICHE

Steps:

• Bake the frozen crust for 8 minutes at 400 degrees, I usually take care of the rest of the prep while the crust is baking.
• Cut the tomato into slices, depending on how thick/thin you want to make them, you might need 2 or 3 tomatoes. The thickness of the tomatoes is up to you.
• In a separate pan, melt the butter and brown the onions.
• In a bowl, mix the eggs, flour and cream. Add salt and pepper to taste. Mix the basil, fresh or dried into this mix.
• Assembly:This quiche is assembled in layers.The first layer is the cheese. Spread the cheese as evenly as possible on the pie crust.
• The second layer is the onions, also try to spread these as evenly as possible.
• The third layer is the tomatoes: lay the tomato slices down in circles (which get smaller as you get closer to the center of the pie).
• Finally, pour the flour, cream and eggs mix over the tomatoes.
• Bake the assembled quiche for 35-40 minutes in a 375 degree oven, or until you can insert a toothpick and it comes out clean.
• Let the quiche stand for 10 minutes 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.

• 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.

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.
