Scrumptious Gluten Free Tomato Basil Quiche

Recipe Idea: Gluten Free Tomato Basil Quiche

Hi, it’s Lois at Recipe Idea Shop, telling you about my Gluten Free Tomato Basil Quiche. I made this for breakfast a week ago and it was delicious. Since there were leftovers, I took it to Quaker Meeting to share at our Friendly Meal (potluck luncheon). Every scrap of it was gone in no time. I also brought a Gluten Free Tomato Basil Pie (no eggs), which was terrific, so it was hard to choose what to eat!

Both are made in a similar manner, except with the quiche, you pour in four beaten eggs, upping the protein for your meal.

Gluten Free Tomato Basil Quiche impresses the palate.

Be careful when you roll out the pie crust. Make it thin in the center. Don says I should have folded the outside crust (around the rim) over on itself to make it thicker, but I needed to make the center of the crust thinner. Mine got a wee bit soggy and the outside was a bit crispy. I’ll keep trying. But the flavor was terrific. I used Bob’s Red Mill 1-to-1 Gluten Free Baking Flour, and it worked great.

This was a wonderful breakfast meal, and it’s good for a brunch or potluck, too. Do let me know how you like it when you make it. I know you’re gonna wanna eat this.
