Goat Cheese & Roasted Red Pepper Quiche Recipe
Serve a delicious brunch starting with this roasted red pepper and goat cheese quiche. It's a great vegetarian option and is easy to make for entertaining.
Ingredients
- 1 deep dish pie shell {I use frozen and let it thaw for 15-20 minutes}
- 4 eggs
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup chopped roasted red peppers {from a jar; drained and patted dry}
- 1/4 cup chopped mushrooms {fresh or from a can}
- 4 oz goat cheese
- 1 to 1 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/8 teaspoon white pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350° F.
- Using a fork, poke the bottom and sides of crust and pre-bake for 5 minutes. Remove and set aside.
- Sprinkle Parmesan cheese, red pepper, and mushrooms into bottom of pie shell. Top with crumbled goat cheese.
- Combine cream, beaten eggs, salt, pepper and nutmeg in small bowl until blended. Pour into pie shell.
- Bake for 20 minutes; remove from oven and cover edges of crust with aluminum foil to prevent over-browning.
- Put back into oven and continue to cook 20-25 minutes or until center looks firm and doesn’t jiggle any longer.
- Cool for 5-10 minutes on wire rack before serving.
Notes
Bake quiche on baking sheet to catch spills or overflow during cooking.
You can substitute Gruyere or white cheddar cheese for the Parmesan, or use a combination of these together. I’ve done both and it all tastes great!
