Tricolor Summer-Quiche

This is a summer love story transitioning to the beauty of the autumn season.

The other day I went to one of our Berlin local markets and bought loads of fresh fruits and vegetables.

I bought a LOT of these beautiful colourful tomatoes and thought it’s about time again to make a quiche! There came the idea of combining goat cheese with tomatoes and a herbal touch of Mediterranean spices.

It turned out to be so delicious that we ate the entire quiche in two days!

I highly recommend to serve a piece of quiche with a fresh made salad on the side.

A match made in le french heaven!
