Instructions

- Top with remaining goat cheese and chopped fresh basil.

- Remove from oven and let cool for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving.
Tips
- Choose Quality Ingredients: Opt for fresh cherry tomatoes and high-quality goat cheese to enhance the flavors of your quiche. Fresh herbs like basil can make a significant difference too!
- Don’t Rush the Roasting: Allow the tomatoes to roast until they’re slightly caramelized. This step intensifies their sweetness and adds depth to your quiche.
- Cool Before Serving: Let the quiche rest for 10-15 minutes after baking. This allows the filling to set properly, making it easier to slice and serve.
- Experiment with Add-ins: Feel free to customize your quiche by adding ingredients like spinach, sautéed onions, or different cheeses for a unique twist.
- Perfect Pairing: Serve your quiche with a light salad or a glass of crisp white wine for a complete meal that’s sure to impress!
