A tomato quiche like this with goat cheese and cream cheese is a great summertime meal: Easy to bake, nice to look at, and good to prepare. I don't have to stress that my tomato quiche is delicious, do I 😉 ? Perfect for parties, a cozy picnic, or for dinner with the family!
Taste and Occasion
The base of the easy tomato quiche with goat cheese is my vegetarian quiche recipe (which I also use for the onion tart). A fine, slightly salty shortcrust pastry base is followed by a deliciously creamy topping of goat cheese, cream cheese, scallions, and colorful herbs.
This colorful vegetable quiche is a delicious dinner and a great snack in one. The vegetarian quiche tastes good with (almost) any type of vegetable; herb cream cheese is also suitable instead of fresh goat cheese.
Ingredients
When it comes to vegetables, you're free to choose: whether you make the tomato quiche with cherry tomatoes or regular large tomatoes - the result is excellent. I originally intended to bake the quiche with yellow and orange cherry tomatoes, but both of them were just unavailable. But at least ten varieties of red, grrrr…. To make the look of this quiche a little more "exciting", I combined different tomato sizes in the end. And a few with green stalks packed on top. So the tomato quiche is also really pretty!
With the herbs for the tomato quiche, you can also take what you like (or you just have at home). Of course, rosemary or thyme go incredibly well. I made it easy for myself last time and used a mix of freeze-dried herbs, including onions and garlic.
How to make the Tomato Quiche
For the dough, put the flour in a bowl, and knead the cold butter in tiny pieces with the egg, the ice water, and the salt. Form the dough into a ball and refrigerate for about 30 minutes, wrapped in plastic wrap. Now, preheat the oven to 360°F/180°C.
In the next step, roll out the dough to the size of an 11-12 in / 28-30 cm quiche or tart pan (plus rim); place in the pan and raise a rim. Prick the bottom several times with a fork and pre-bake for 10 minutes. For the glaze, mix goat cream cheese and sour cream. Stir in eggs one at a time until well blended. Add herbs, as well as scallions, and cut into strips. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Pour the egg mixture onto the pre-baked dough and spread tomato halves on top with the cut side facing up. Bake the quiche for another 35-40 minutes. Enjoy this recipe!
Top Tip
Although you make the tomato tart with goat cheese, it tastes very mild and is absolutely suitable for children. If you like it more intensely, you can make the tomato quiche with goat cream cheese and without sour cream. And/or stir a little grated, older goat cheese into the mixture. Very tasty! Another easy way to jazz up the recipe: serve the quiche with goat cheese and arugula.
