This pretty quiche is best fresh out of the oven when the cheese is wonderfully gooey. I especially enjoy it in summer with vine-ripe tomatoes and fresh basil. —Sherri Crews, St. Augustine, Florida

Ingredients

1 sheet refrigerated pie pastry
1 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup sliced sweet onion
2 small plum tomatoes, seeded and thinly sliced
3 medium fresh mushrooms, thinly sliced
1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
3 large eggs
1/2 cup half-and-half cream
1/2 teaspoon ground mustard
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme

Directions

Cut pastry sheet in half. Repackage and refrigerate one half for another use. On a lightly floured surface, roll out remaining half into an 8-in. circle. Transfer to a 7-in. pie plate; flute edges.
Layer half of the mozzarella cheese, onion and tomatoes in pastry. Top with mushrooms; layer with remaining mozzarella cheese, onion and tomatoes. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. In a small bowl, combine the eggs, cream, mustard and herbs; pour over top.
Bake at 350° for 45-55 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Let stand for 10 minutes before cutting.

The only change I made was less onion, just not that big on onions. OH & I made my own pie crust. This is great!!

This really exceeded my expectations! Only alteration was increasing the cheese amounts. We really like cheese. Mozzarella was a little more than 1 1/2 C and parmesan was about 1/2 C.

This is really really good. I've made it twice so far and have gotten rave reviews every time.
