This vegetarian tomato and basil tart is one of my classics - I often make it for lunch. I use Trader Joe's® Shredded 3-Cheese Blend (mozzarella, Monterey Jack, and Cheddar cheeses), but any cheese mix or just a single shredded cheese works fine.
This came out great! Can't wait to make again with summer tomatoes

I gave four stars with the following proviso: Do not use 12 oz cheese! I used 6 ozs (I was weighing it as I grated), and it completely filled my 8" pie pan. If I had used 12, it would have been solid cheese! Ugh! I was a little concerned about no liquid, but it turned out just fine! I added a few extra ingredients that I like in quiche, but basically followed this recipe to the letter--except for that cheese! It was darned good. Also, it was over-done and almost burned after 20 minutes! Next time, I will lower the heat and watch it closer. But I will make it again. Thank you.

I made this with a few changes. I did not have enough cheese, so I was trying to add more ingredients, so I decided to add some vegetables. I added also 1/2 sliced onion, 3 chopped asparagus and chives. I precooked those on the stove. I also used dry basil (did not have fresh one). I used cherry tomatoes on the top. The quiche came out creamy and very good.
