Sun-Dried Tomato and Goat’s Cheese Quiche
The tangy tomatoes and goat’s cheese in this gluten-free quiche are complemented with the fresh taste of green summer vegetables.
This recipe is designed for a deep 24cm quiche tin. Alternatively, you can create 6 individual gluten-free quiches – perfect for a party canapé.
Helpful tip: if you do not have any baking beans when blind baking, place a sheet of baking parchment on top of the pastry and fill the space with uncooked dry pulses. We used chickpeas and they worked a treat! This process ensures the pastry does not shorten and that it bakes into an even shell ready for your filling!
