Basil Tomato Quiche

      Quiche is a simple yet rich egg dish baked over a puff pastry or pie pastry. If you are making it for breakfast, its preferred to make with puff pastry and if you are making it for brunch, go for pie pastry because the pastry itself is pretty filling. The filling can be anything you would like to have with eggs. The more vegetables you add, the healthier it is. Today, I preferred to make it with tomatoes, basil and mozzarella to bring in those Italian flavors. Try it out, its pretty easy and simple even for beginner cooks. My family enjoys this a lot and hope yours would do too.

INGREDIENTS :

Puff Pastry Sheet - 1
Eggs                     - 6
Heavy Cream       - 2 tblsp
Mozzarella Cheese - 1/4 cup (grated)
Parmesan Cheese    - 1/4 cup (grated)
Plum Tomatoes       - 1 cup (halved)
Basil Leaves           - 10 (chiffonade)
Pepper Powder       - 1/2 tsp
Salt                         - 1/4 tsp 

METHOD :
Thaw the puff pastry sheet. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 9" pie dish.
In a bowl break the eggs and whisk them well along with the heavy cream, salt and pepper. Check for salt and add more if needed.
Layer the pastry sheet in the pie dish. Arranged the halved plum tomatoes as a layer above the pastry.Then above that sprinkle the basil leaves. On top of that, add both the cheeses. Above this add the whisked egg mixture.
Bake in the oven for about 35 to 45 mins. The time varies with the oven. So you might want to set the timer for 35mins at first, check and set more time if needed. The egg should settle well and a toothpick inserted in the middle should come out clean. If you like firmer eggs, then let it bake for few more minutes.
