CAPRESE QUICHE

I love a good Caprese Salad and love even more a good quiche..........sooooo, I combined the two and came up with this fabulous treat! Can be made crustless for those of you watching your figures or simply pour into a frozen or homemade pie crust for a more traditional flavor.

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 50m

Yield 1 quiche, 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 eggs
1 cup half-and-half
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
1 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
1/3 lb chopped prosciutto
1/2 cup chopped onion (I sauteed them)
1/2 cup diced fresh tomato, seeds removed
1 cup shredded Italian cheese blend

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 400 degrees F. Spray 9 inch pie plate with cooking spray (if making a crustless quiche).
  • Beat eggs and half-and-half until well blended. Fold in remaining ingredients and pour into pan or pie crust (if you choose to use one).
  • Bake 35 minutes or until knife inserted in center comes out clean. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly affect the taste of your quiche. Use fresh, ripe tomatoes, mozzarella cheese, and basil.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can make the quiche tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Blind-bake the crust: This will help to prevent the crust from becoming soggy.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut the tomatoes and mozzarella cheese: This will help to prevent them from tearing.
  • Top the quiche with fresh basil: This will add a pop of color and flavor.

Conclusion:

Caprese quiche is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It's perfect for a summer party or potluck. With its simple ingredients and easy-to-follow instructions, this quiche is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
