Mozzarella, Tomato and Basil Quiche image

The Mediterranean flavours of mozzarella, tomato and basil blend beautifully to make this a flavourful and attractive quiche. You could use an unbaked pie shell rather than dough- this is just how I make it. If your quiche pan is tall, you may like to increase the egg and cream mixture in a ratio of 4 eggs: 1 cup cream.

Categories     Cheese

Time 50m

Yield 1 quiche, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 sheet shortcrust pastry dough (ready rolled)
4 large eggs
1 cup heavy cream
2 tomatoes, cored and sliced
2 cups grated mozzarella cheese
20 fresh basil leaves, finely chopped
salt and pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F or 180°C.
  • Lay the sheet of pastry dough over a 9-inch quiche pan, pressing the dough gently into the crimped edges. Cut away any excess dough so the pastry is level with the top of the pan.
  • Prick the base of the pastry with a fork.
  • Lay half the sliced tomatoes evenly over the pastry. Scatter half the cheese and chopped basil over the tomatoes. Repeat with the rest of the tomatoes, cheese and basil.
  • Mix the eggs and cream together and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Pour carefully over the other ingredients in the pastry shell, leaving a little space for the mixture to rise slightly in the oven.
  • Bake in the oven for 40-45 minutes or until the egg mixture is cooked and set.
  • Let stand for 5 minutes before cutting.
  • Serve hot or cold!

This quiche was a bit too heavy for my taste. I think I would have liked it more if it had been made with a lighter crust.

This quiche was a bit too cheesy for my taste, but it was still good. I would make it again, but I would use less cheese next time.

Overall, this was a good quiche. I would definitely make it again, but I would make a few changes to the recipe. I would use a different recipe for the crust, and I would add more salt and pepper to the filling.

This quiche was a bit too quichey for my taste. I prefer a quiche with a more custard-like filling.

The quiche was good, but the crust was a bit too dry for my liking. I think I would have liked it more if I had used a different recipe for the crust.

This quiche was easy to make and turned out great! I used a store-bought pie crust to save time, and it still came out perfect. The quiche was light and fluffy, and the flavors were spot-on.

I'm not a big fan of quiche, but this one was really good. The crust was nice and flaky, and the filling was flavorful and creamy. I especially liked the addition of basil.

This quiche was a hit with my family! The flavors of the mozzarella, tomato, and basil were perfectly balanced. The crust was flaky and golden brown. I will definitely be making this again.
