Tomato And Basil Quiche

Ingredients
3 medium tomatoes
Handful of fresh basil leaves
3 eggs
200g (7oz) grated cheddar or tasty cheese
200g (7oz) cream
1 sheet shortcrust pastry
Instructions
1. Pre-heat oven to 200°C/400°F.
2. Line the base and sides of a 20cm quiche dish or spring-
form pan with pastry. Prick the base of the pastry with a
fork. Place a piece of baking paper over the pastry and fill
with pie weights (or rice or dry beans). Bake in the oven
for 15 minutes.
3. While pastry base is blind-baking, slice the tomatoes into 1cm (1/2inch) slices. Rip basil leaves
into small pieces.
4. Whisk together eggs and cream in a medium bowl.
5. Remove pastry base from oven and lower temperature to 180°C/350°F.
6. Sprinkle grated cheese over the base of the pastry. Place slices of tomato and basil on top of
the cheese. Pour over the egg and cream mixture.
7. Bake in the oven for 30 minutes, or until the centre of the quiche is firm to touch.
