Ingredients

• 6 large eggs
• 0.5 cups heavy cream
• 0.25 cups whole milk
• 0.25 cups grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 cups cherry tomatoes
• 0.5 cups fresh basil leaves
• 1 teaspoons minced garlic
• 1 tablespoons olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish with non-stick spray or olive oil.

Step 2

Slice the cherry tomatoes in half and set them aside. Chop the fresh basil leaves and set them aside as well.

Step 3

In a medium skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant, but not browned.

Step 4

Add the halved cherry tomatoes to the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, and milk until fully combined. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese, salt, and ground black pepper.

Step 6

Gently fold the sautéed cherry tomatoes and chopped basil into the egg mixture.

Step 7

Pour the mixture into the prepared pie dish, spreading it evenly.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the quiche is set in the center and the top is slightly golden.

Step 9

Remove the quiche from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing.

Step 10

Serve warm or at room temperature. Garnish with additional fresh basil leaves, if desired.
