Tip

Seeding Tomatoes

Summer is the perfect time of year to enjoy fresh juicy tomatoes in all types of recipes. It's usually not necessary to remove the seeds from tomatoes before using. But for some recipes, seeding the tomatoes can improve the dish's appearance or eliminate excess moisture. For example, it's not important to seed tomatoes when preparing a tossed salad. But it's nice to remove the seeds when making creamy tomato soup to ensure a smooth texture. And using seeded tomatoes when assembling a casserole can prevent it from becoming watery. To remove the seeds from a tomato, cut it in half horizontally and remove the stem. Holding a tomato half over a bowl or sink, scrape out seeds with a small spoon or squeeze the tomato to force out the seeds. Then slice or dice as directed in the recipe.

Very tasty, my husband loved it. Used 1% milk in place of the cream, added 1 cup, kept other 1/2 cup half and half. The recipe turned out great would definitely make again

There are better quiche recipes than this one that have more flavor. Dull, tasteless, don't waste your time.

Delicious recipe! Could anyone tell me how to peel a fresh tomato. I tried peeling by boiling the tomato first. Quite messy. Finally got the skin off but there must be an easier way!

This was fabulous, got rave reviews from the gals at brunch. I did substitute whole milk for the cream because I forgot to buy cream, used 5 eggs instead of 4 in case the whole milk wouldn't let it set, came at perfect.
