Ingredients

• 1 store-bought or homemade pie crust
• 1.5 cups grape or cherry tomatoes, halved
• 0.5 cups fresh basil leaves, chopped
• 4 ounces goat cheese, crumbled
• 4 large eggs
• 1 cup half-and-half
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 teaspoons olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Place the pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim any excess and crimp the edges if desired. Use a fork to gently prick the bottom of the crust to prevent bubbling.

Step 3

Bake the crust for 10 minutes, then remove it from the oven and let it cool slightly.

Step 4

In a skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil. Add the halved tomatoes and sauté for 3-4 minutes, just until they release some of their juices. Remove from heat.

Step 5

In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, half-and-half, salt, and black pepper until smooth.

Step 6

Sprinkle the chopped basil evenly over the bottom of the pre-baked pie crust.

Step 7

Add the sautéed tomatoes and crumbled goat cheese evenly over the basil layer.

Step 8

Pour the egg mixture over the filling, making sure it spreads evenly. Be careful not to overfill the crust.

Step 9

Place the quiche in the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is lightly golden.

Step 10

Remove the quiche from the oven and allow it to cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
