Caprese Quiche.
One of my favorite flavor combinations in the world is tomatoes, fresh basil and mozzarella cheese. It works. Caprese salad is probably the most recognizable way to enjoy these ingredients but they multi task like nobody’s business. Try them on pizza, in pasta, on toast and yes even in quiche. Quiche is also a workhorse of a dish. What does that mean? It’s good served hot or cold and it’s great for breakfast, brunch, lunch or dinner. You can’t say that about too many dishes now can you.
Quiches couldn’t be easier to make. You can use a refrigerated pie crust as a time saver (raising hand) or you can use a homemade version, completely up to you. This quiche is vegetarian (hello Meatless Monday Menu) full of protein and packed with flavor the whole family will love.
I’m happy to be part of the Darling Dozen Blogger Team for Davidson’s Safest Choice Eggs where I create and share egg-cellent (couldn’t help myself sorry. Okay not sorry.) recipes. I don’t have to worry about my eggs because I know when I use Davidson’s Safest Choice Eggs they’re SAFE. “Davidson’s Safest Choice® Eggs are pasteurized in an all-natural, gentle water bath pasteurization process to eliminate the risk of Salmonella. The vast majority of eggs sold in grocery stores are NOT pasteurized. Safest Choice™ offers peace of mind when making recipes calling for raw or undercooked eggs, and removes the worry of cross contamination.

I like the term you used—that a quiche is a work horse because you can eat it hot or cold. Plus it microwaves so easily. It makes a great lunch to easily take to work in lieu of another workhorse, the sandwich. Also a very appropriate dish with it’s sunny yellow spring color.

I love quiche, Paula, and am on a sort of very long-winded life-long search to find the ultimate recipe (no soggy bottom, best ratio of eggs to milk/cream etc.) Maybe this is it!! Great idea to make a quiche with caprese flavours!

Christiane ~ Taking On Magazines says
You’ve hit on all my favorites, including a savory breakfast for me. I love, love, love the combination of tomato, basil and mozzarella, and truth be told, I could eat eggs every day. When THEY tried to tell me they were bad for me, I said, ‘pffft.’ I was right, THEY were wrong! Eggs are fantastic. Eggs in a caprese quiche are amazing.
wowguy says
I think I will make that wednesday? But what kind of wine?
Janie says
I love caprese salad and love quiche so this looks like a must-try dish! Thanks for sharing!
Rachel says
I add chunks of mozzarella cheese to bruschetta to ‘bulk it up’ a little bit as, otherwise, if I’m eating it as a main course I find it doesn’t keep me filled up for long. Just a couple of chunks of mozzarella on each slice, though, and……perfect 🙂
