What is a real friendship?
Friends around my dining room table..
Every month a group of x 8 friends in my neighborhood gather to enjoy each other's company, friendship, dinners, homes, wine, and company!
I'm blessed to be part of this group.

and here's the recipe for Goats Milk and Roasted Tomatoes Quiche
Roasted
Tomato and Goat Cheese Quiche (for those that wanted this very delightful
recipe.. its easy as! )
1 9-inch pie crust
8 ounces cherry tomatoes
2 teaspoons olive oil
1/4 teaspoon salt
6 large eggs
1 3/4 cup whole milk
3/4 cup heavy cream
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup basil chiffonade (I googled this.. all you need to do is make a cigar (rolled up stack of leaves) and slice them finely.. )
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, finely grated
4 ounces goat cheese
Roll out pie crust and fit into a 10 x 1-inch quiche pan. Trim away overhang and reserve for patching any cracks during baking.
Preheat oven to 350°F. In a bowl, toss the tomatoes with the olive oil and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Spread onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 10-15 minutes, until the tomatoes are puffy and lightly browned.
Raise oven heat to 425°F. Remove crust from freezer and line with parchment paper. Fill with pie weights, beans or rice, pushing weights snugly against the sides of the pan. Bake for 20 minutes and remove parchment and weights. If the crust has puffed up in spots, lightly press down with the back of a spoon. Bake for another 10-15 minutes, until the bottom crust is light golden brown. Lower oven heat to 375°F.
Meanwhile, in a large bowl whisk together the eggs, milk, cream and 3/4 teaspoon salt until frothy. Mix in the basil and half the Parmesan cheese. Scatter half the tomatoes and half the goat cheese, crumbled, over the bottom of the quiche pan. Pour in the egg custard. (You may have a little custard left over, depending on how much the sides of your dough slumped during baking.) Scatter the remaining tomatoes and crumble the remaining goat cheese around the custard. Scatter the remaining Parmesan cheese evenly over the top.
Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the center is set, but still a little jiggly. If the crust starts to brown too much during baking, wrap foil around the edges of the pan to protect it. Let quiche cool for at least 15 minutes before serving.
