Let’s Talk About the Star Ingredients
Every great dish starts with solid ingredients, and this quiche is no exception. Here’s what makes it shine:
👉 Smoked Chicken – Adds a deep, savory flavor that takes this quiche up a notch. It’s already cooked, so less work for you!
👉 Tomatoes – A mix of juicy cherry tomatoes and sliced tomatoes brings in a fresh, slightly tangy kick. Plus, they look great on top! 🍅
👉 Eggs & Sour Cream – This combo makes the filling rich, creamy, and just the right amount of fluffy.
👉 Herbes de Provence – A little French-inspired herb mix that adds warmth and depth. Fancy name, simple magic!
👉 Pie Crust – Store-bought for the win! Flaky, buttery, and no need to make it from scratch (because who has time for that?).
👉 Fresh Basil – The final touch! A sprinkle of basil adds freshness and a little color boost. 🌿

Alright, let’s get this quiche in the oven!
1️⃣ Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). While that heats up, let’s prep the filling.
2️⃣ Grab a bowl and whisk together the sour cream and eggs. Season it up with a pinch of salt, pepper, nutmeg, and herbes de Provence. Now, toss in that chopped smoked chicken and give it a good mix.
3️⃣ Time for the crust! Unroll that store-bought pie crust and keep it on the parchment paper it comes with (easy cleanup, yay!). Place the whole thing into a round baking dish or pie pan. If the edges are hanging over, just fold ’em in and press to make a nice, thick crust.
4️⃣ Pour in the filling and spread it out evenly. Then, arrange those juicy tomatoes on top make it look fancy if you want!
5️⃣ Bake it up! Pop the quiche onto the bottom rack of your oven and let it bake for about 45 minutes, or until it’s golden brown and set.
6️⃣ The finishing touch: Sprinkle some fresh basil on top, let it cool slightly, and dig in!
Simple, delicious, and packed with flavor. Enjoy! 😋
Not feeling some of the ingredients? No worries! Here are some easy swaps and fun tweaks to customize your quiche:
✔️ No smoked chicken? Swap it for cooked turkey, ham, or even crispy bacon for a different spin.
✔️ Want it vegetarian? Skip the meat and add sautéed mushrooms, spinach, or bell peppers for a veggie-loaded quiche. 🥦🍄
✔️ No sour cream? Use Greek yogurt or heavy cream instead for a creamy texture.
✔️ No cherry tomatoes? Any tomato works! Roma, heirloom, or even sun-dried for a bolder flavor. 🍅
✨ Cheese, please! Add shredded mozzarella, cheddar, or crumbled feta for extra creaminess. 🧀
✨ Spice it up! A pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce in the filling gives it some heat. 🌶️
✨ Crustless option – Skip the pie crust and bake the filling in a greased dish for a lower-carb version.
✨ Mini quiches – Pour the mixture into a muffin tin for bite-sized, meal-prep-friendly portions!
Mix and match these ideas, and you’ll have a quiche that fits your taste perfectly! 😋
Try my Air-Fried Tofu Breakfast Burrito recipe.
✔️ Pre-bake the crust (if needed) – If your store-bought crust tends to get soggy, blind bake it for 5–7 minutes before adding the filling. This keeps it crispy!
✔️ Let the quiche rest – Once baked, let it sit for 5–10 minutes before slicing. This helps the filling set and makes for cleaner cuts.
✔️ Distribute the fillings evenly – Before baking, give the dish a little wiggle to make sure the chicken and tomatoes are spread out and not clumped in one spot.
✔️ Use room temp ingredients – Cold eggs and sour cream straight from the fridge can make the filling lumpy. Let them sit out for a few minutes before mixing.
✔️ Check for doneness – The quiche should be golden on top and slightly firm in the center. If it jiggles too much, give it a few more minutes.
✔️ Make it ahead – This quiche tastes great the next day! Store leftovers in the fridge and reheat in the oven for a crispy crust.
✔️ Freeze for later – Want to meal prep? Bake the quiche, let it cool, then freeze whole or in slices. Just reheat in the oven when you're ready to eat!
Follow these tips, and your quiche will turn out perfect every time! 😊

Absolutely! You can tweak this Tomato and Chicken Quiche to make it Keto, Low-Carb, or Paleo-friendly with a few simple swaps. Here’s how:
✔️ Ditch the crust – Skip the pie crust entirely and bake the filling in a greased pie dish or use a cheese-based crust (mix shredded cheese & almond flour for a low-carb alternative).
✔️ Use full-fat dairy – Swap sour cream for heavy cream or cream cheese for more fat and creaminess.
✔️ Add more cheese – Throw in some shredded cheddar, mozzarella, or gouda for extra flavor and fat.
✔️ Check your tomatoes – Tomatoes have natural sugars, so go easy on them if you're watching carbs.
✔️ Skip the crust – Like the keto version, go crustless or use a cauliflower crust instead.
✔️ Boost the veggies – Add spinach, mushrooms, or bell peppers to increase fiber and nutrients without too many extra carbs.
✔️ Use low-carb seasonings – Stick with herbes de Provence, salt, and pepper without any sugary spice blends.
✔️ Crust swap – Use an almond flour or coconut flour crust or go crustless.
✔️ Dairy-free filling – Swap sour cream for coconut cream or unsweetened cashew cream for a rich, creamy texture.
✔️ No processed meats – Instead of smoked chicken, use grilled or roasted chicken without added preservatives.
✔️ Add Paleo-friendly veggies – Think zucchini, asparagus, or sweet peppers to load up on nutrients.
No matter which version you choose, this quiche can still be delicious, satisfying, and packed with flavor! 😋
✔️ Fresh Green Salad – A simple side of mixed greens with a light vinaigrette keeps things fresh and balanced. 🥗
✔️ Roasted Veggies – Serve it with roasted asparagus, zucchini, or bell peppers for extra flavor and nutrients.
✔️ Avocado Slices – A few creamy avocado slices on top (or on the side) make this quiche even more satisfying. 🥑
✔️ Breakfast Sidekick – Pair it with crispy bacon, turkey sausage, or a side of sautéed spinach for a hearty breakfast.
✔️ Soup & Quiche Combo – A warm bowl of tomato soup or a light chicken broth makes a cozy, comforting meal. 🍲
✔️ Crusty Bread or Keto Bread – If you’re not watching carbs, a slice of toasted sourdough or a keto-friendly bread goes great on the side.
✔️ Brunch Spread – Serve it alongside fruit, yogurt, or a mimosa for a full brunch experience. 🍹
