With lovely [[Fresh eggs|fresh eggs]] from [[Thelma and Louise]], [[Thelma and Louise|(our hens)]] making quiches is a must. This one used bits and bobs we had lying about; it was fabulous. Very juicy, which I think must have been the re-hydrated [[Taste Sensation Sun-dried Tomatoes Diced]] coupled with the fresh [[Tomatoes|tomatoes]].

Normally, using a metal flan tin a percentage of the pasty is always left-over and wasted, this time I used the cast [[Iron|iron]] [[Le Creuset]] rectangular [[Oven|oven]] dish. The [[Pastry|pastry]] fitted perfectly, with no wastage.

===Serving suggestions===
Serve with a [[Green salad|green salad]]
===Chef's notes===
The long preparation time is due to the time it takes to rehydrate the [[Sun-dried tomatoes|sun-dried tomatoes]]. Obviously with jarred sun-[[Dried|dried]] [[Tomatoes|tomatoes]] this step would not be necessary!
