As a home cook who's mastered countless affordable meals, I'm excited to share this simple tomato and goat cheese quiche. It's easy to make, costs under €4 for four servings, and delivers restaurant-quality flavor.
Ingredients for 4 servings:
--> 1 shortcrust pastry
--> 4 eggs
--> 1 fresh goat cheese
--> 2 beautiful tomatoes
--> 20 cl of milk
--> salt and pepper
Preparation steps:
1. Preheat your oven to 220°C (thermostat 7) for 15 minutes.
2. For a crispy base, blind-bake the pastry first. Prick it with a fork and bake on its parchment paper—no need to grease the dish, making unmolding effortless.
3. Peel and seed the tomatoes, then slice thinly. My pro tip: Blanch them in boiling water for 30 seconds, then shock in ice water for easy peeling without burns.
4. In a bowl, whisk the eggs with milk, salt, and pepper. Crumble in the goat cheese coarsely, add tomato slices, and fold gently.
5. Pour over the pre-baked crust and bake for 30 minutes.
6. Test doneness by inserting a knife—if it comes out clean, it's ready. Serve hot or warm with a crisp green salad for a light, satisfying meal.
Feeding a family affordably doesn't mean skimping on taste. This quiche costs less than €4: about €1 for eggs and goat cheese, €0.40 for tomatoes and milk. Homemade shortcrust pastry? Practically free.
It's a smart way to delight everyone without breaking the bank. Give it a try and let us know how it turns out!
