goat cheese quiche, caramelized onions and thyme
Like most of my vacations, my New York trip revolves around food. In addition to visiting some of the new restaurants, I love going to our favorite spots. One of my favorite spots is a French restaurant called Balthazar. Located between Broadway and Crosby in Soho, it is a perfect excuse to spend a full day walking around and admiring the narrow streets that neighborhood. I always order the same thing the warm goat cheese and caramelized onion tart. This Goat Cheese Quiche with Caramelized Onions and Thyme quiche is my version of Balthazar’s tart.
