Steps:
- Prepare the pastry crust according to the recipe directions (note: the recipe will yield 2 crusts. Feel free to either half the recipe or freeze the second half for a later time).
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Roll the dough into a 12-inch circle, then fit it into a 9-inch pie plate (not deep dish). Trim the crust so it overhangs the plate edge by about 1 inch all the way around, then tuck the edges under at the plate edge and crimp with your fingers or a fork.
- Prick the bottom of the crust all over with a fork at 1/2-inch intervals, then line the plate with foil or parchment paper. Fill with dry beans, uncooked rice, or pie weights, ensuring that the beans or weights are all the way up against the edges of the pan. Set on a rimmed baking sheet, then bake for 15 minutes. Remove the lining and weights. If the crust has puffed up in spots, gently press it back down with a fork. Bake, uncovered, for 8-10 additional minutes, until the bottom of the crust is lightly golden. Remove from oven and set aside. Reduce the oven temperature to 375 degrees F.
- Meanwhile, place the sundried tomatoes in a small bowl and cover them with boiling water. Let sit for 5 minutes to rehydrate, then drain and pat dry.
- In a large bowl whisk together the eggs, egg whites, milk, Greek yogurt, pesto, salt, and pepper. Then, stir in the spinach, Parmesan, and sundried tomatoes.
- With the pie plate still on the baking sheet, carefully pour the filling into the prebaked crust.
- Bake until the quiche is puffed and the center is set but still a little jiggly, 40 to 50 minutes. If the crust starts to brown too quickly as the quiche bakes, wrap the edges of the pan with foil to protect it. Let quiche cool on a wire rack for 15 minutes. Slice and serve warm or at room temperature.

TOMATO PESTO
Chef Note: This is a great sauce for pasta salad because it's delicious at room temperature. You could also slather it on bruschetta, grilled fish or chicken. Or make a brunch dish by topping a thick slice of toast with proscuitto, a poached egg and a little of this summer pesto. In summer, when you can get your hands on vine-ripe tomatoes, you don't even need to peel them. To intensify the flavor, you can add a few oven-dried tomatoes. The pesto keeps several days in a tightly sealed container in the refrigerator.

Steps:
- To make the pastry, tip the flour and butter into a bowl, then rub together with your fingertips until completely mixed and crumbly. Add 8 tbsp cold water, then bring everything together with your hands until just combined. Roll into a ball and use straight away or chill for up to 2 days. The pastry can also be frozen for up to a month.
- Roll out the pastry on a lightly floured surface to a round about 5cm larger than a 25cm tin. Use your rolling pin to lift it up, then drape over the tart case so there is an overhang of pastry on the sides. Using a small ball of pastry scraps, push the pastry into the corners of the tin. Chill in the fridge or freezer for 20 mins. Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6.
- In a small roasting tin, drizzle the tomatoes with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Put the tomatoes in a low shelf of the oven.
- Lightly prick the base of the tart with a fork, line the tart case with a large circle of greaseproof paper or foil, then fill with baking beans. Blind-bake the tart for 20 mins, remove the paper and beans, then continue to cook for 5-10 mins until biscuit brown.
- When you remove the tart case from the oven, take out the tomatoes, too.
- While the tart is cooking, beat the eggs in a large bowl. Gradually add the cream, then stir in the basil and season. When the case is ready, sprinkle half the cheese over the base, scatter over the tomatoes, pour over the cream mix, then finally scatter over the rest of the cheese. Bake for 20-25 mins until set and golden brown. Leave to cool in the case, trim the edges of the pastry, then remove from the tin. Scatter over the remaining basil and serve in slices.

- Preheat oven to 425°F.

- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flours and salt. Whisk together until well combined. Set aside.
- Remove the oil from the freezer and drizzle into the flour mixture. Using a fork or dough blender, incorporate until crumbly.

- Layer half the tomato slices in the pie crust and sprinkle with half the feta cheese. Whisk together eggs and pesto until well mixed, and stir in mozzarella, basil/parsley, onion powder, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Pour half of the mixture over first tomato layer. Add a second layer of tomato slices and top with the rest of the egg mixture. Sprinkle the remaining feta cheese on top.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until egg mixture firms and feta browns.

Steps:
- Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is tender, about 3 minutes. Add rice and cook, stirring frequently, until lightly toasted, about 1 minute. Slowly pour in white wine. Cook, stirring frequently, until wine is absorbed.
- Add 1/2 cup broth, stirring frequently, until broth is absorbed. Working in batches, continue adding 1/2 cup broth at a time, stirring until all broth is absorbed. When done, rice should be tender and creamy. (Step 2 should take 20 to 25 minutes total.)
- Stir Parmesan cheese, pesto, 1/4 cup parsley, and 1 tablespoon vinegar into the risotto. Keep warm.
- Combine beans, tomatoes, and salt in a small saucepan. Cook, covered, over medium heat, until warmed through, about 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a 10-inch skillet, bring 4 cups water and the remaining vinegar to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer (bubbles should begin to break the surface of the water). Break an egg into a custard cup. Hold the lip of the cup close to water and slip egg into water. Repeat with remaining eggs. Simmer, uncovered, 3 to 5 minutes or until whites are completely set and yolks begin to thicken but are not hard. Use a slotted spoon to remove from skillet.
- Serve risotto topped with tomato-bean mixture, poached eggs, and remaining parsley. Sprinkle with pepper.

Tips:
- Use ripe tomatoes: Rip tomatoes have a sweeter and more flavorful taste, making them perfect for this quiche. Look for tomatoes that are deep red in color and slightly soft to the touch.
- Roast the tomatoes beforehand: Roasting the tomatoes before adding them to the quiche intensifies their flavor and helps to remove excess moisture. This will result in a quiche with a more concentrated tomato flavor and a less watery texture.
- Use a good quality pesto: The pesto is a key ingredient in this quiche, so it's important to use a good quality one. Look for a pesto that is made with fresh basil, olive oil, Parmesan cheese, and pine nuts. You can also make your own pesto at home if you have the time.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can make the quiche tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined and then stop.
- Bake the quiche until it is set: The quiche is done baking when it is set in the center. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
Conclusion:
This Tomato Pesto Quiche is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for brunch, lunch, or dinner. It is packed with flavor and is sure to be a hit with your family and friends. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy meal, give this quiche a try!
