- Set aside to cool.
- In a separate bowl, beat the eggs.
- Add olives, parsley and cayenne, stirring until well blended.
- Slowly fold in the tomato mixture.
- (Be careful.
- If tomato mixture is too hot, the eggs will cook and quiche will not puff.)
- f you wish you can make the quiche to this point and refrigerate mixture a few hours until you are ready to bake, but you have to add 10 to 15 minutes to baking time.
- Pour the mixture into the shell.
- Layer the mushrooms and any other toppings desired on top of mixture.
- Then sprinkle the grated cheese over the toppings.
- Bake in preheated oven 30 to 35 minutes (40 to 50 minutes if refrigerated) or until puffed and brown on top.
- Remove from oven and allow to cool 5 minutes before slicing.
- If you use aluminum disposable pie tin, be very careful moving quiche into and out of oven or quiche will take a dive for your kitchen floor.
