Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups grape tomatoes (or cherry tomatoes), halved
- 1/2 cup fresh basil, chopped (plus more for garnish)
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 8 large eggs (preferably at room temperature)
- 1/3 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any milk or cream)
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 6 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese (1-inch balls or cut into 1-inch pieces)
Instructions
- Preheat and Prep: Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C).
- Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine halved tomatoes, basil, garlic, and 4 ounces of the mozzarella cheese. Transfer the mixture to a 9-inch pie pan or 8-inch square baking dish.
- Whisk Eggs: In the same bowl (or a new one), whisk together eggs, almond milk (or milk/cream), salt, and pepper. Pour the egg mixture over the tomato mixture in the baking dish.
- Bake: Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the quiche is starting to set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
- Add Remaining Cheese: Remove from the oven and dot the remaining 2 ounces of mozzarella cheese on top. Bake for another 15 minutes, or until golden brown and completely set.
- Serve: If there’s any excess liquid, drain it before serving. Garnish with fresh basil and enjoy!
Notes
