This quiche is one of my most favorite summertime dishes.  I could eat it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.  Morning, noon, and night.  I would even sneak it in as a snack at snack time. 😉  It’s that good!

It’s rich, creamy and so filling.  I love the savory tomato and basil paired with the rich creaminess of the egg and cheese.  Yummm!  I am wishing I had leftovers right now.

Quiche is such a great breakfast, brunch, or even lunch item.  This Caprese Quiche has a quick and easy prep time which is so nice for a busy mom or person for that matter.  Once mixed it bakes for about an hour.

Here’s how I make this Caprese Quiche.  If you like tomatoes and basil, you definitely need to try this!  You can also click below to go straight to the full printable recipe.

I usually skip the homemade pie crust (mainly because of time) and go straight for a deep dish pre-made pie crust.  You can find these in the frozen aisle next to the frozen fruit, cool whip, or frozen pies.  The best thing about using a frozen pre-made pie crust is that you just need to let it thaw for 10-15 minutes and you’re ready to go.  No pre-cooking required.

In the bottom of the pie crust, I evenly sprinkle half of the parmesan cheese then layer the drained spinach on top.  Next, I spread the mozzarella cheese and chopped basil leaves.  After that, I place a layer of tomato slices and sprinkle the remaining parmesan cheese on top.  Pretty simple, right?

Layer ingredients into ready made pie crust

Once all the ingredients are layered, I mix the eggs, cream, milk, garlic, salt, and pepper together.  After they are well mixed I pour the egg mixture over the layers.  It fills the pie crust to the top.  I bake this Caprese Quiche on a cookie sheet just in case of spillage.

It bakes for 50 to 60 minutes until the top is golden brown and the quiche has begun to set.

Add egg and cream mixture

It’s normal to have a bit of “jiggle” in the center but it should not be soupy or sloshy.  The beautiful airy puff that happens when it’s fully cooked is made because of the creamy eggy filling.  As it cools the air will be released and the quiche top will become flat.  The filling will also take on a much more firm texture.

Bake

 I like to wait five to ten minutes to slice and eat a piece to avoid the softer texture.

    Hi Sandy! I’ve never made it that far in advance. If we have leftovers they are usually gobbled up the next morning. I would think yes but would guess it won’t be quite as good. If you end up making it ahead I’d love to hear about your experience; if it works for you and what not. Thanks for stopping by!
