This recipe is perfect for two on a Saturday morning! I used the Pampered Chef Egg Cooker and it fit nicely in a bowl!
The recipe is adapted from this one on food.com.
Tomato, Basil & Mozzarella Quiche
Ingredients
- 1 pie crust
- Olive oil
- 2 eggs
- 3 Tablespoons milk
- one plum tomato
- 3/4 cup mozarella cheese, grated
- 4 fresh basil leaves, finely chopped
- salt and pepper to taste
Directions
- Preheat over to 350
- Light brush each egg cooker well with a little bit of olive oil (or spray with your kitchen spritzer)
- Roll out the pie crust and cut into circles so they will fit into the egg cooker wells.
- Place into the egg cooker wells and prick the crust with a fork a few time.
- Thinly slice tomatoes. I used the second setting on the Pampered Chef Simple Slicer.
- Lay 1-3 tomatoes evenly on the crust.
- Grate the mozzarella cheese and scatter half the cheese and chopped basil over the tomatoes. Repeat one more time for a second layer.
- Mix the eggs and milk together and season with salt and pepper.
- Pour the egg mixture carefully into each egg dish, leaving a little space for the mixture to rise slightly during baking.
- Bake in the over for 35-40 minutes or until the egg mixture is cooked and set.
- Let stand and allow to cool.
I found that my crust wasn’t as crispy as I would have liked it. I encourage you to watch it in the last 10 minutes of baking to make sure it bakes correctly.
