From the Test Kitchen

Inside this gorgeous quiche (a classic, savory tart)­, a wealth of the season’s finest produce awaits. We’re mixing our eggs—the defining ingredient in any quiche—with summer squash, cherry tomatoes, fresh corn and basil, then pouring the rich filling into a flaky crust. And we’re topping it off with dollops of fluffy ricotta. The cheese softens into the filling as it sets in the oven, creating a surface layer of silky, lightly-crispy texture. For a refreshing touch, we’re serving this gourmet quiche with a salad of arugula and sherry vinaigrette.
