Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 medium ripe tomatoes, sliced
- 0.25 cup green onions, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh basil leaves, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9-inch pie dish with the olive oil and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and heavy cream until smooth.
Stir in the cheddar cheese and Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until evenly combined.
Layer the sliced tomatoes on the bottom of the prepared pie dish, slightly overlapping them.
Sprinkle the chopped green onions and basil evenly over the tomatoes.
Pour the egg and cheese mixture over the top of the tomatoes and herbs, ensuring an even distribution.
Place the pie dish on the middle rack of the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden and the center is set. A knife inserted in the middle should come out clean.
Allow the quiche to cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
