big success - even my sister in law asked for recipe!
This breakfast tart was not difficult to make and it was an elegant and sophisticated change from the usual breakfast egg dishes. The cream cheese added richness and the fresh herbs and almonds were the perfect finishing touches. I used more ham since I omitted the bacon - I was serving candied bacon as a side. I will increase the amount of nutmeg next time - maybe doubling it since I couldn't detect the nutmeg flavor in the end. I made this for a brunch and the adults and even an 11 year old boy loved it. I am adding this to my "one day when I have a B and B" list!
YUM! I used a store bought crust to save time. I substituted 1 cup condensed milk for the heavy cream and 1 t. dried Herbes de Provence (always in my pantry) in place of the fresh basil and thyme and replaced the monterey jack with emmental cheese (aged variety of swiss). Everyone at my mom's coffee morning wanted the recipe. Thanks for sharing; it's much better than the basic quiche recipe I usually make!
I made this for mothers day brunch and WOW I wish I had found this recipe sooner! I added a bit more bacon and ham and a deep 9 inch pie plate since I did not have a 10. I sauteed the green onion with the regular onion for the filling (though that was by sheer accident so I sprinkled a lot less green onion on top). I also reduced the cream by 1/4 cup per quiche based on a review. I did find this need to cook and extra 15 minutes. The fresh thyme and basil just send this over the top!
Made this this morning for church. Read the reviews first so I knew it would take a little longer than 40 minutes to cook. Except for the crust I followed the directions exactly. It got nothing but raves. It IS a lot of work but it is worth it. It is very rich so if you like you can use fat free half and half instead of heavy cream. Another reviewer;halved the cheese and still another made it crustless. There are ways to cut the calories. Read your reviews. I love basil. Wonderful wonderful dish. Thank you bettina.
This was maybe the best quiche ever! Baked it in two deep dish pie plates rather than tart pans. Then I used 10 eggs and 2% milk light cream cheese (6 oz) & 2% milk rather than the cream / DELICIOUS!!
I made this and brought it to work everyone loved it.It does take alittle prep time though but worth it.I didn't have a 10 inch pan so I used my 9inch deep dish it just took alittle longer approx 15 more minutes to cook.All the flavors blend really nice not to bland or spicy...I'll make this again.
