    Easy Tomato Bacon Quiche Pin

    Tomato Bacon Quiche with lots of fresh basil. Make two. One to enjoy now and another to freeze and savor when summer's bounty is long gone.

    Are there particular fruits and vegetables that take over your counter, either because your garden runneth over...or you were feeling a bit too ambitious at the farmer's market? (Me, me, me at the market!)

    Tomatoes and basil. You'll find plenty of these at my house. I always make one to enjoy immediately and another quiche filling to freeze. 

    If you find yourself with more tomatoes and basil then you know what to do with, then try this tasty recipe. You'll love it because:

    • It can be assembled and frozen (before cooking) for an easy meal any time. 
    • It calls for a healthy whole wheat pie crust or it can be made crustless for a gluten-free, low-carb option.
    • It's an Easy Prep/Hands-Off Cooking recipe...and who doesn't love to sit back and relax while a delicious dinner bakes in the oven.

    Tomato Bacon Quiche Ingredients

    In my mind, this is a "BLT" quiche. After all, it has: 

    • Bacon - It just can't be a BLT without it. My favorite options are nitrite-free and turkey bacon.
      • Pre-cook the bacon in the microwave. Line a microwave-safe plate with 3-4 paper towels, place 2-3 slices of bacon on top, cover with 2 more paper towels. Microwave on high for 2-3 minutes. Check and continue cooking at 30-second intervals until it's done to your liking and then crumble.
    • Leafy Basil - Stack, roll and cut into slivers with your kitchen shears.
    • Tomatoes - Plum tomatoes are easy to seed and dice. But, any type that is overtaking your kitchen will work.

    What do you think?

    Crustless or Not?

    This gorgeous tomato bacon quiche (if I do say so myself) baked in a prepared whole wheat pie crust.

    If you are feeling ambitious, check out this recipe for whole wheat pie crust by Well Plated by Erin, and make your own.

    Or, don't use a pie crust at all. This mixture will cook up beautifully, just like this Crustless Asparagus quiche recipe.

    Author: Marjory Pilley

    Ingredients

    • 5 eggs lightly beaten
    • 1 cup milk (any type or combination will work. I use a mixture of skim milk and half and half.)
    • ¼ teaspoon salt
    • ¼ teaspoon white pepper
    • 1 cup Swiss cheese shredded
    • ½ cup bacon or turkey bacon. crumbled
    • ½ cup roma tomatoes diced
    • ¼ cup basil fresh, stacked, rolled and cut into thin strips
    • 1 whole wheat pie crust 9 inch, preferably whole wheat

    Instructions

    • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
    • Combine eggs, milk, salt, pepper and cheese in a bowl.
    • Fold bacon, tomatoes and basil into the egg mixture.
    • Pour quiche mixture into a pie crust.
    • Using a fork, evenly distribute ingredients.
    • Bake quiche uncovered for 60-70 minutes or until an inserted knife comes out clean. The top should be lightly browned and the quiche will continue to set after removed from the oven.
    • Allow quiche to sit for 10-15 minutes before cutting.

    Notes

    Quiche can be frozen before or after cooking. Before cooking add all of the ingredients (except for pie crust) to a plastic bag that seals. Store in freezer. When ready to cook, defrost in the refrigerator, pour mixture into pie crust and cook as directed. After cooking, wrap slices with plastic wrap and place in freezer. Slices can be re-heated in the microwave or oven.
    Omit the pie crust and make this a crustless quiche!

      Our garden is late this year so I'm still waiting for the influx of tomatoes - but as soon as it hits, this recipe is going on my must-make list!

      This is the best idea for a quiche! I like the idea of freezing one for later!

      Beautiful! I need some make ahead and freeze recipes-- having a baby in about 2 weeks and keep reading I should have healthy meals frozen and ready to go! Probably a good idea, since my husband makes 1 dinner-- salmon and roasted veggies. It's wonderful, but we can't eat it every night, and that's about all he wants to make!

      I was totally thinking basil too when I read this months challenge!

      I can't remember the last time I made quiche. It's something we always enjoy and I need to add it to my to-cook list for the weekend! Love your BLT version.

      I am ALWAYS over-ambitious at the farmers market - I can't control myself. I love the BLT spin on this quiche, it looks amazing!

      I have to agree with you - this quiche is definitely gorgeous! I'm partial to crustless quiches, but making one with a whole wheat crust is something I need to try.

      Just a heads up, your recipe never mentions when to add the cheese!
