Tomato Quiche image

This is for Zaar World Tour for the France/Cajun region. It's from the cookbook International Meatless Cookbook by Jean Hewitt. I love posting vegetarian recipes, since it allows me and others to have meatless or vegetarian options for our meals. One thing the recipe does not say is how long to wait for between adding the tomatoes and some of the ingredients to the skillet. I would give it five minutes.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my quiche turned out really dry. I think I may have overcooked it.

The quiche was good, but the crust was a little too thick for my liking.

This quiche was a bit bland for my taste. I think I would add more herbs and spices next time.

I love quiche and this recipe is one of my favorites. The tomatoes add a nice pop of flavor and the crust is always flaky and golden brown.
