Inspired by Donald's fantastic pizza quiche, yet saddened by the fact that I was out of pizza sauce and mozzarella, I decided to come up with a similarly themed quiche. It was quite good!

1 tsp olive oil
2 oz softened cream cheese
2 eggs
3 Tbsp cream
2 Tbsp grated parmesan
1 tsp oregano, or to taste
1 cup shredded cheddar (or other hard cheese)
3 thin slices of tomato, each slice cut in half

- Spread olive oil in 8" cake pan
- Beat together eggs and cream cheese
- add parmesan, oregano and cream
- spread cheddar onto bottom of pan
- pour egg mixture over top
- arrange tomato slices in a circle
- sprinke more oregano, if desired
- bake at 375F for 30 min
- slice into six pieces and try to resist eating the whole thing.

For one slice: (1/6 of recipe)

Wow! this sounds great. Kristine I think I'm going to pair this up with spaghetti squash w/ carbonara sauce.

What time do you want me to come over?

Yum... Sounds great. I'm definitely will try this over the weekend.

Thanks for sharing.

Kristine:

Oh I had this on Friday. Sorry. It was really good. Only problem was I blew a fuse just before it would have gotten to the 'crispy' stage and therefore it was more like a very firm foccacia like frittata. Complemented the spaghetti squash quite well.

I should have you over for dinner. I think we would cook well together.
