Sun-dried Tomato And Zucchini Quiche Recipe
My favorite quiche recipe. Once you understand the basics here, manipulate the layered ingredients.

Ingredients
  • store bought pie dough (not sweetened)
  • 1 medium brown/ yellow onion
  • 1/4 cup drained, chopped sun-dried tomatoes
  • 1/3 cup drained, chopped sun-dried zucchini (or eggplant or roasted peppers... create!)
  • 1/4 cup shredded fresh basil leaves
  • 3/4 cup grated gruyere cheese (authentic is best, but you could get away with the cheap "swiss cheese" version if on a budget)
  • 1/4 cup grated parmesan (please be authentic on this one)
  • 3 eggs
  • 3/4 cup cream (I've learned that it is best to use cream (even if it's a lower-fat verions, who knows how they make that) rather than 1/2 and 1/2 or else the quiche won't rise)
  • 1/4 cup tasty cheese (parmesean again or get creative)

Directions
  1. thaw dough enough to line pie dish, read directions on package if prebaking is needed for an open-topped savory pie, usually only 10 minutes, if so, line crust with parchment paper and fill with dried beans so that the crust doesn't rise. This is also better than punching holes in the bottom
  2. heat oil from tomatoes in medium sauce pan and saute onion till soft
  3. spread onion, then tomato, zucchini, basil, gruyere and first part of parmesean into the crust
  4. in seperate bowl, combine egg and cream, season with salt and pepper to your taste
  5. pour eggs and cream mixture over quiche and sprinkle tasty cheese on top
  6. bake in moderate oven for about 35 minutes or until set (brown atop)

You know, looking back, I haven't made this recipe with the zuccini in over 2 years. It is just as great with only the sun dried tomatoes. Enjoy!
