Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Roll out the pie crust and gently press it into a 9-inch quiche dish or pie pan. Trim any excess crust, ensuring an even edge.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are deeply caramelized and golden brown, about 10-15 minutes.
- Stir in the chopped sun-dried tomatoes and cook for an additional 2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
- Spread the caramelized onion and sun-dried tomato mixture evenly over the bottom of the pie crust. Sprinkle the grated cheese on top.
- Pour the egg mixture over the filling, ensuring it covers the ingredients evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the quiche is set in the center and the top is golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh chopped basil before slicing.
- Serve warm or at room temperature, and enjoy this delightful dish!
Tips
- For added depth of flavor, consider adding fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary to the onion mixture.
- You can also substitute the sun-dried tomatoes with roasted red peppers for a different twist.
- Pair with a light green salad and a vinaigrette for a complete meal.
