SUN-DRIED TOMATO, FETA AND OLIVE QUICHE



Sun-Dried Tomato, Feta and Olive Quiche image

This is a truly delicious and easy vegetarian quiche that my family love. Its so simple to whip up on a weeknight and even though it has no meat is substantial enough to satisfy the hungriest of kids or partners. The subtle flavour of basil in this impressive quiche gives it that extra special "something" and you could easily add in spinach or any of your other fave vegies to make it your own.
