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.

How To Make goat cheese quiche, caramelized onions and thyme

1
Pre-heat the oven to 375 degrees. Take pie shell out of the freezer.

2
Place two layers of aluminum foil over the dough and fill it with pie weights or 2 cups of dry beans.
3
Place pie shell on a sheet pan and transfer it into the oven and bake for 30 minutes.
4
Remove the pie weights and the aluminum foil, and bake for another 5 minutes.
5
Take it out of the oven and set it aside. Do not turn the oven off.
6
While the crust is baking, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet, in medium heat.
7
Add onions, and stirring often, cook for 20-25 minutes or until they turn into golden brown. Set aside.
8
Mix together the heavy cream, milk, eggs, egg yolks, salt and pepper in a small bowl.
9
Scatter the crumbled goat cheese pieces, thyme, and caramelized onions over the piecrust.
10
Pour the milk mixture over it.
11
Place it in the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes.
12
When you first take it out of the oven it may look like the middle part of the quiche is not fully cooked.

This is normal. It will continue to cook as it cools on the kitchen counter.
14
Allow it to cool for 10-15 minutes and serve it warm.
