The cheese goes on the bottom of the crust, not only on top. That layer is what keeps the pastry from going soggy under the vegetables, and it’s the reason this holds together when you cut it.
Rinse and drain the canned tomatoes properly, and take the onions all the way to caramelized rather than just soft. The two tablespoons of pastry flour go in with the vegetables to catch whatever liquid is left.
Thirty minutes at 400, then let it sit before slicing. Warm quiche falls apart.
