With lovely fresh eggs from 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.
Normally, using a metal flan tin a percentage of the pasty is always left-over and wasted, this time I used the cast iron Le Creuset rectangular oven dish. The pastry fitted perfectly, with no wastage.

Chef's notes
The long preparation time is due to the time it takes to rehydrate the sun-dried tomatoes. Obviously with jarred sun-dried tomatoes this step would not be necessary!
