2large eggs
1cupof heavy cream
A generous pinch of salt and pepper
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Rinse the quartered tomatoes well to get rid of most of the seeds. Don't skip this step or there will be too much liquid. Set aside in a strainer to drain for a couple of minutes.

In a bowl, whisk the eggs, cream and salt and pepper until well combined and creamy. Pour this into the pie crust.
Bake for 45-50 minutes or until the quiche is set and the top is golden. Cool for 30 minutes and enjoy warm or chill in the refrigerator serve cold.
Notes
To chiffonade the basil, pile all the leaves on top of each other. Then tightly roll them and thinly slice the roll.
