Why indeed?

You can add tomatos to a quiche, but you can put more or less anything into it.

A very classic version is the Quiche Lorraine ([en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quiche#Quiche_lorraine, Quiche Lorraine]), where no tomato is needed.

If however you want to use tomato, keep the following in mind:

cooked tomato (especially with seeds) gets watery

it looses a little of its taste, so you want to add a little extra salt, which however in the cooking process makes it even more watery

the egg&cream (or egg&milk) based filling needs salt as well for taste

My suggeston is:

  • use either very meaty tomatos or cherry tomatos (these you can keep whole)
  • remove skin and seeds (slit the skin, put them into hot water for about 10 secs, quickly under cold water and you can easily peel off the skin)
  • don't use extra salt for the tomatos in the egg custard but instead place the tomatos on top of the quiche and sprinkle a little fleur de sel on them
