Using different colour peppers and adding pitted green olives to the pastry makes this quiche appealing to both the eye and the palate. The flavour of roasted  peppers with mozzarella and basil gives it a wow factor. For more ideas of delicious and tasty quiches visit the  category   Savoury pies     (Recipes here).
