Ingredients
- 1 piece store-bought or homemade pie crust
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 medium yellow onions
- 150 grams cherry tomatoes
- 4 pieces eggs
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 cup milk
- 1 cup shredded cheese (e.g., Gruyere or cheddar)
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
Place the pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish. Use a fork to prick the bottom of the crust to prevent bubbling. Pre-bake the crust for 10 minutes and set it aside to cool slightly.
Step 3
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Slice the yellow onions thinly and sauté them with a pinch of salt until caramelized, about 10-15 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent burning.
Step 4
Slice the cherry tomatoes in half and set them aside.
Step 5
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, milk, shredded cheese, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.
Step 6
Spread the caramelized onions evenly over the pre-baked pie crust. Place the halved cherry tomatoes on top, cut side up.
Step 7
Pour the egg and cream mixture over the onions and tomatoes, allowing it to settle evenly.
Step 8
Bake the quiche in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is lightly golden.
Step 9
Remove the quiche from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm and enjoy!
