Caprese Quiche
I just love the combination of tomatoes, cheese and basil. I had eggs I needed to use and lots of fresh basil, so this quiche was a no-brainer. I used a store-bought crust to slash the time… so easy!
Quiche freezes incredibly well, so it’s a perfect make-ahead meal. I wrap individual slices tightly in plastic wrap and place in a storage container in the freezer, or you can freeze the whole quiche.
You can also make this quiche low-carb by skipping the crust… just spray your pie pan with cooking spray before pouring the egg mixture into the pan. Enjoy!
