Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 store-bought or homemade pie crust
- 1.5 cups grape or cherry tomatoes, halved
- 0.5 cups fresh basil leaves, chopped
- 4 ounces goat cheese, crumbled
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup half-and-half
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 teaspoons olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Place the pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim any excess and crimp the edges if desired. Use a fork to gently prick the bottom of the crust to prevent bubbling.
Bake the crust for 10 minutes, then remove it from the oven and let it cool slightly.
In a skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil. Add the halved tomatoes and sauté for 3-4 minutes, just until they release some of their juices. Remove from heat.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, half-and-half, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
Sprinkle the chopped basil evenly over the bottom of the pre-baked pie crust.
Add the sautéed tomatoes and crumbled goat cheese evenly over the basil layer.
Pour the egg mixture over the filling, making sure it spreads evenly. Be careful not to overfill the crust.
Place the quiche in the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is lightly golden.
Remove the quiche from the oven and allow it to cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
