Ingredients

• 1 9-inch pre-made pie crust
• 1.5 cups cherry tomatoes
• 2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves
• 4 large eggs
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 0.5 cups whole milk
• 1 cup grated Gruyère cheese
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 teaspoon olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Roll out the pre-made pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim any overhang and crimp the edges as desired.

Step 3

Line the crust with parchment paper or aluminum foil, then fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake the crust for 10 minutes to par-bake.

Step 4

Remove the weights and parchment/foil, and bake for an additional 5 minutes until lightly golden. Set the crust aside to cool.

Step 5

While the crust is cooling, slice the cherry tomatoes in half. Heat the olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat and cook the tomatoes lightly for 3–4 minutes until slightly softened. Set aside.

Step 6

In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, whole milk, salt, and black pepper until smooth.

Step 7

Spread the grated Gruyère cheese evenly over the bottom of the par-baked crust.

Step 8

Layer the cooked cherry tomatoes over the cheese, then sprinkle the fresh thyme leaves on top.

Step 9

Carefully pour the egg mixture over the tomatoes and cheese, filling the crust almost to the top. Be careful not to overfill.

Step 10

Place the quiche on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the center is just set and the top is lightly golden.

Step 11

Remove the quiche from the oven and allow it to cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Step 12

Serve warm or at room temperature for a delicious and satisfying meal!
