Tomato Basil Quiche
This was such a delicious quiche and so cute because I made it in a mini 6 inch cast iron skillet. This would make the perfect ladies lunch for two served with a salad followed by a yummy dessert! To scale it up to a regular 8 or 9 inch pan, just triple the ingredients. You could use a skillet or even a pie pan if you don’t have one. For the pie crust I used 1/4 of one of my all butter crusts. You can get that easy recipe here or you can use store bought crusts to simplify this even more. Those of you with beautiful gardens will enjoy using your homegrown basil and tomatoes.
