* 1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed

For the Custard:

* 3 large eggs
* half & half (about 1 1/2 cups)
* 2 tablespoons fresh thyme
* pinch of nutmeg
* 1/2 teaspoon salt
* 1/4 teaspoon fresh ground pepper

For the Filling:

* 6 oz. Ile De France Original Goat Cheese, chilled
* 2 Gala apples, chopped
* 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
* 1 shallot, minced

Methods/steps

* Preheat the oven to 425.

* Roll puff pastry to 11-inch square. Transfer to 9-inch diameter glass pie plate, trim edges, and place in the refrigerator until ready to fill.

* Whisk eggs in a 4 cup measuring cup. Add half & half until you reach the 1 1/2 cup line. Whisk together with thyme, nutmeg, salt and pepper. Chill in the refrigerator until ready.

* Cut the apples into chunks and coat with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. Roast for 30 minute or until desired taste. 4. Once the apples are complete, lower the oven temperature to 375.

* Saute the shallots for 5 minutes over medium heat (with a little butter or olive oil).

* Combine apples, shallots, and crumbled goat cheese in the pie shell.

* Cover with custard mixture and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the top is a golden color.

Additional Tips

I decided on a pre-made pastry dough because it is time efficient and truly does taste delicious. In considering apples, I settled on the Gala for its sweetness and popularity in supermarkets. As a side note, I estimate this quiche to cost about $2.37 a serving, making it a very economical supper when paired with a salad.
