Tomato Quiche: A Perfect Blend of Freshness and Flavor

Quiche with tomatoes

This is not just a tomato pie. Here, cherry tomatoes, Adyghe cheese, thyme leaves and fried onions are poured with a creamy egg filling right into a crispy shortcrust pastry base. To prevent the pie crust from getting soggy, you first need to bake only the dough: 5-7 minutes in the oven will be enough. Serve the finished pie hot or cold.
