Vegetarian Quiche Recipe

My family likes this vegetarian quiche recipe even more than the standard Quiche Lorraine. Rich with zucchini and goat cheese, it makes a great first course, or serve it as a main dish accompanied by a baked potato.

Recipe Notes

This recipe calls for crème fraîche a frequent ingredient in French cooking. If you are unable to find this delicious French dairy product or just want to save some money, here is an easy creme fraiche recipe that gives excellent results. In this recipe you can also subsitute heavy whipping cream for the creme fraiche, or if you want to go lighter, try half and half.

Also note that this vegetarian quiche recipe is very adaptable. Try making it with other vegetables or cheeses. Just make sure you cook the vegetables until they are somewhat tender before baking them in the quiche.

Pie Crust Tip

It is always helpful to freeze a pie or tart crust before blind baking it like in this recipe. This helps to keep the crust from slipping down the edges of the pan and making unsightly bubbles or splits. Just fit the crust to the tart pan, prick it with a fork in several places, then place in freezer for 15 minutes to half an hour before baking.
