If you are looking for a quick and easy recipe for the summer months - don't look any further. This is my favorite quiche recipe (created by myself by trial-and-error) that can be prepped ahead of time and cooked later. Even better, it's great for leftovers. As a mother of four children, I intentionally cook my dinners to last for more than one meal. Make this quiche for dinner and serve it warm for breakfast the next morning.

After removing the pre-baked crust from oven, layer the crust with 1/2 c. of the mozzarella cheese and 1/4 c. of the parmesan cheese. Lay the sliced tomatoes evenly on the cheese.

Spread the combined mixtures evenly over the sliced tomatoes.
