Marie’s Tomato & Basil Garden Quiche

Quiche is an easy dish to prepare and is extra delishious with garden fresh vegitables and herbs, and is a fantastic way to use left-overs, and of course the fresh eggs from our hens.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees

6 Fresh Eggs beaten
3+ Large Garden Tomatoes diced
7 Basil leaves rolled & sliced julienne
1.5 cups of milk (or half & half)
1.5 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese

1 tablespoon flour

1 prepared pie shell

Add all ingredients to a large bowl, and mix until all ingredients are evenly distributed.

Lay pie crust over a large pie baking dish and allow it to sag into the dish and center it. Crimp the pie crust edges as desired.

Pour pie mixture into the prepared crust in the pie plate.

Cover edges of pie crust w/Aluminum foil to avoid over browning. Bake 45 minutes, remove foil, and bake 15 minutes longer.

Your quiche is cooked if a knife or toothpick inserted near the center of the pie comes out clean.

Serve hot, or room temperature.
