SAUSAGE AND SUN-DRIED TOMATO QUICHE
I decided to experiment one Sunday morning with a breakfast quiche. I love sun-dried tomatoes and always look for new ways to use them. I think the sweetness of the tomatoes goes wonderfully with sausage.

Steps:
- Preheat an oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line pie pan with pie crust, and prick several places with a fork. Place a double layer of aluminum foil over the crust.

- In a large skillet, cook sausage until well browned, stirring frequently. Mix in shallots and garlic, and continue cooking for 1 minute. Stir in sun-dried tomatoes and 1 tablespoon parsley. Spread mixture into the bottom of the warm pie crust.
- In a mixing bowl, beat eggs with cream. Stir in cheese. Pour mixture over sausage in pie crust. Sprinkle remaining parsley over the top.
- Bake in preheated oven until crust browns and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, about 45 to 60 minutes.

SUN-DRIED TOMATO, FETA AND OLIVE QUICHE
This is a truly delicious and easy vegetarian quiche that my family love. Its so simple to whip up on a weeknight and even though it has no meat is substantial enough to satisfy the hungriest of kids or partners. The subtle flavour of basil in this impressive quiche gives it that extra special "something" and you could easily add in spinach or any of your other fave vegies to make it your own.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients. Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make a big difference in the taste of your quiche. Look for sun-dried tomatoes that are plump and moist, and use a good quality cheese that melts well.
- Don't overcook the quiche. The quiche is done when the center is just set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overcooking will make the quiche dry and rubbery.
- Let the quiche cool slightly before slicing. This will help to prevent the quiche from falling apart.
- Serve the quiche warm or at room temperature. Quiche is a versatile dish that can be served for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It's also a great make-ahead meal.

Sun-dried tomato quiche is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion.
