Best-of-Show Tomato Quiche image

I knew this delicious recipe was a "keeper" when I first tried it in the 1970s as a new bride- it impressed my in-laws when I made it for them! Now I sometimes substitute Mexican or Cajun seasoning for the basil. No matter how it's seasoned, it's wonderful.

This quiche was a disappointment. The filling was bland and the crust was tough.

The quiche was delicious, but the crust was a bit soggy. I think I'll blind-bake the crust next time.

This quiche was easy to make and turned out perfectly. I used a store-bought crust to save time.

This quiche was a showstopper! The flavors were so well-balanced and the crust was flaky and flavorful. I will definitely be making this again.
