Quiche zucchini goat cheese




Ingredients for the flavored Brisé dough :

- 250 gr of flour
- 125 gr of butter
- 1 yolk
- 1 Tablespoon of fresh chopped chives
- salt

Ingredients for the mixture :

- 2 zucchinis
- 100 gr of fresh goat cheese
- 10 cl of whipping cream
- 2 eggs
- 1 log of goat cheese (you can replace it by an aged goat cheese, the taste will be stronger)
- 1 Tablespoon of basil
- Salt and Pepper
- Black Provencal Olives (if you want)

Preparation of the Brisé dough :

Make a well in the center of the flour. Put in the center the butter (cut and soften), the chives, a pinch of salt and knead with your fingers.
Add the yolk, continue to knead as you add little by little some water until you obtain a ball of dough. Set aside in the fridge.

Preparation of the Quiche :

Spread the dough and place it inside of a baking pan (buttered). Pick the dough with a fork and set the pan aside in the fridge for 10 minutes.

Cut the zucchinis into slices, keep the peel and cook them with steam either in the microwave or in a pan.

Mix the eggs with the whipping cream, the fresh goat cheese and the basil. Add salt and pepper. 
Pour a third of this mixture on to the dough inside the pan. Spread evenly the slices of the zucchinis and pour the rest of the mixture on top of it. Cut the aged goat cheese (or the log) and place them on the tart.

Now you can add a little bit of your favorite cheese (shredded Swiss cheese or mozzarella) on top of the tart. 

Bake it for 25 minutes at 180 ºC / 355º F
Watch the cooking closely, you may let it cook longer or shorter.

Note : You can eat the Quiche alone as a main dish with a Salad, you can just cut the Quiche into little pieces for Aperitif or appetizers.
It is delicious ! Bon Appetit !
