Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece pre-made pie crust
- 4 pieces large eggs
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 cup milk
- 0.5 cup sun-dried tomatoes (packed in oil, drained)
- 0.5 cup kalamata olives (pitted and sliced)
- 1 cup grated Gruyère cheese
- 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh basil (chopped)
- 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Unroll the pre-made pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch tart pan or pie dish. Trim any excess dough and prick the bottom with a fork to prevent it from puffing up.
Place the pie crust in the oven and pre-bake for 10 minutes. Remove it from the oven and set aside to cool slightly.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, and milk until completely combined.
Stir in the grated Gruyère cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped basil, salt, and ground black pepper.
Evenly distribute the sun-dried tomatoes and sliced kalamata olives over the partially baked crust.
Pour the egg and cheese mixture over the tomatoes and olives, spreading it evenly to fill the crust.
Place the quiche in the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown.
Remove the quiche from the oven and allow it to cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Garnish with additional chopped basil, if desired. Serve warm or at room temperature.
