Ingredients
- 1 teaspoons butter
- 4 sheets puff pastry, thawed
- 2 cup cherry tomatoes
- 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 pinch pepper
- 4 eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 cup cream
- 1/4 cup grated parmesan
- 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, rolled together into a bundle and finely sliced
- 1 teaspoons butter
- 4 sheets puff pastry, thawed
- 2 cup cherry tomatoes
- 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 pinch pepper
- 4 eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 cup cream
- 1/4 cup grated parmesan
- 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, rolled together into a bundle and finely sliced
- Step 1 of 6Preheat the oven to 220°C (200°C fan-forced). Grease the holes of a 12-hole muffin pan or mini quiche pans lightly with butter or cooking spray.
- Step 2 of 6Line the pans with pastry, jig-sawing the pastry together and re-rolling the trimmings so not to waste any. Chill the lined pans in the freezer while you prepare the filling.
- Step 3 of 6Toss the tomatoes lightly in a bowl with the olive oil and a pinch of salt, and place them in an ovenproof dish. Bake the tomatoes for 15 minutes, or until they are puffed and starting to collapse. Remove from the oven and reduce the temperature to 190°C (170°C fan-forced).
- Step 4 of 6In a large jug or bowl, mix together the eggs, milk, cream, salt and pepper and half of the Parmesan cheese. Whisk the mixture well with a fork. Stir through the basil and set aside.
- Step 5 of 6Divide the tomatoes between the pastry cases and pour the egg mixture over the top. Sprinkle the remaining Parmesan over each quiche and bake until the pastry is golden and the filling is set but still a little jiggly, about 15 minutes.
- Step 6 of 6Serve the quiches warm or cold, with extra basil sprinkled over the top.
