During summertime, back in Argentina we eat easy to prepare food that doesn't require long hours in the kitchen. It is hot. Real hot. Usually during the weekends, me and my brothers and sisters used to go to my mom's house (when we all still lived there) and we are spoiled madly; we get to eat delicious food and spend time together. This tomato and mozzarella tart, or a variation of it, is almost always on the menu. Hope you love it as much as we do!

What is quiche?

Quiche is a French savoury tart, made of a buttery and flaky dough filled with a custard and flavoured with vegetables, meat, or cheese. There are as many variations of quiche flavours as people who enjoy making it.

The famous Quiche Lorraine is a classic from the French Cuisine, made with lardons and cheese. If you want to know a little more about quiche and its origins check What Is Quiche?.

Making this flaky dough is rather easy and you can do it by hand. No fancy equipment necessary.

First mix the flour, salt and butter using the tip of your fingers until you obtain a breadcrumb consistency. Make sure butter is cold.
Secondly, Add the water and mix until the dough has come together. Use cold water.
Finally, cover in plastic wrap or beeswax paper and refrigerate for 2 hours.

After the 2 hours have passed, roll out the dough to 4 mm, line the tart tin and blind bake! Now you are ready to make this tomato quiche! If you want a detailed explanation on how to line a tart, or a different quiche crust recipe tin check Quiche Crust.

You can use a store-bought quiche crust if that is your preference.
