The last thing you want to do when it’s hot outside is turn on the oven.
But I promise you, if you bake this Tomato Sage Yogurt Quiche with Buckwheat Cheddar Crust one evening, when it’s a *bit* cooler outside, you’ll thank me for it.
Texture and Tang
Buckwheat flour and cheddar cheese in the quiche crust add texture and flavour.
Thick plain Greek yogurt in place of cream and milk adds a gorgeous tang.
And combining it all with fresh sage and baby tomatoes means this recipe has a little bit of everything your heart desires.
