Sun-Dried Tomato and Olive Quiche

Dee-licious!'s Note:

A yummy gourmet spin on the traditional Quiche Lorraine. You can make 1 large quiche, or mini quiches- just make sure you lessen the cooking time for mini quiche. You can add spring onion for flavour, or finely chopped bacon. This is such and easy dish to make, takes very little time. Serves 4-6 with salad, great picnic treat!

This is such a creamy and flavorful quiche. So easy to throw together. We enjoyed it for brunch this morning. I used kalamata olives, as that is what I had on hand. I seasoned it with a little salt, fresh ground pepper and dried thyme. It came out perfect. The recipe did not specify what kind of cheese to use. I used cheddar, though feta would complement the flavors in this quiche wonderfully. Thank you for another great recipe, this is indeed Dee-licious!!!
