A delicious vegetarian quiche with sweet shallot, spicy goat cheese, thyme and creamy egg. Delicious with a brunch for example, at Christmas or lunch.
Always a nice addition to a brunch is a quiche. And this rich quiche with shallots, goat cheese and thyme is delicious and got a creamy filling. I find him myself very tasty lunch with a salad.
How I got as a quiche? Since we often have brunch at Christmas I prepared like it as well as possible. With a quiche you can do that just fine. You have two options for this. At the first bake for 20 minutes now and then you freeze him. That way you can him to two weeks of it before.
The second option, if you want to bake him really fresh is that you make the dough the day before and the shallots already browns. So you do on the day itself just to stop the dough in the shape, the filling over it to divide and bake.
Both good methods and you make yourself that way pretty easy. A stress-free Christmas.
Tips
- If you want to shorten the total preparation time for at least half an hour use store bought dough.
- If you want to make the recipe a bit skinnier, use light cream instead of normal cream.
- By cooling the quiche dough before baking it won't rise as much and the quiche will look better.
