Ingredients

1 unbaked pastry shell (9 inches)
1 cup shredded Swiss cheese, divided
4 large eggs
1-1/2 cups half-and-half cream
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1 large onion, chopped
2 tablespoons canola oil
1 can (14-1/2 ounces) diced tomatoes, undrained
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon sugar
1/8 teaspoon dried basil
12 slices pepperoni, chopped
1 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup sliced ripe olives

Directions

Bake unpricked pastry shell at 375° for 11 minutes. Sprinkle with 2/3 cup Swiss cheese. In a bowl, whisk the eggs, cream, salt, oregano, cayenne and pepper; pour over cheese.
Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
Meanwhile, in a large skillet, saute onion in oil until tender. Stir in the tomatoes, thyme, sugar and basil. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 15 minutes or until liquid has evaporated.
Sprinkle remaining Swiss cheese over quiche. Top with the tomato mixture. Sprinkle with the pepperoni, mozzarella cheese and olives. Bake 5 minutes longer or until the cheese is melted. Let stand for 15 minutes before cutting.
