Cheese and tomato are those two ingredients that are a match made in food heaven, a beautiful combination of flavours that always takes me back to my childhood. This simple to make low fat cheese and tomato quiche really highlights, and pay homage to this wonderful classic combination.

Even though the recipe for this quiche has been slightly altered to be healthier. No cream, butter or even pastry is used as you would in your normal classic quiche, but let me reassure you, this is one satisfying meal.
