Roasting the veggies in this rich yet bright quiche intensifies their flavors. The addition of fresh goat cheese lends a wonderful creamy tanginess. —Laura Davis, Chincoteague, Virginia


Test Kitchen tips
  • For blind baking, place dried beans into an oven bag, then onto the pastry so they are easy to remove.
  • Freeze the goat cheese for 10-20 minutes before crumbling to make it less sticky.
  • Add fresh basil to this quiche if you have some on hand.

    Directions

    1. Unroll pie crust into an ungreased 9-in. tart pan. Refrigerate 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 425°.
    2. Line unpricked crust with a double thickness of foil. Fill crust with pie weights, dried beans or uncooked rice. Bake crust on a lower oven rack until edge is golden brown, 10-12 minutes. Remove foil and weights; bake until bottom is golden brown, 3-5 minutes longer. Cool on a wire rack.
    3. In a large bowl, combine eggplant, pepper, tomato and garlic. Add oil; toss to coat. Transfer to a greased 15x10x1-in. baking pan. Roast the vegetables until tender, 15-20 minutes, stirring halfway.
    4. Reduce oven setting to 375°. Spoon roasted vegetables into crust. In a large bowl, whisk eggs, egg yolks, cream, salt and pepper until blended; pour over top. Sprinkle with goat cheese.
    5. Bake on a lower oven rack on a baking sheet until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean, 25-30 minutes. Cover edge with foil if needed to prevent overbrowning. Let quiche stand 10 minutes before cutting.
