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.

    Prep Time 20 min
    Cook Time 1 hour
    Yield 6 servings

    Ingredients

    • 1 sheet refrigerated pie crust
    • 1 small eggplant, cut into 1-inch pieces
    • 1 poblano pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
    • 1 medium tomato, cut into 1-inch pieces
    • 2 garlic cloves, minced
    • 1 tablespoon olive oil
    • 2 large eggs plus 2 large egg yolks
    • 3/4 cup half-and-half cream
    • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
    • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
    • 1 log (4 ounces) fresh goat cheese, crumbled

    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.
