Tuna and Vegetable Quiche

Ingredients:

  • 1 pre-made pie crust
  • 2 cans of tuna in olive oil, drained
  • 1 cup of mixed vegetables (e.g., bell peppers, zucchini, and carrots)
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup of milk or cream
  • 1 cup of shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella works well)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh herbs (e.g., parsley or dill) for garnish

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Place the pre-made pie crust in a pie dish and press it down against the sides. Poke a few holes in the bottom with a fork to prevent bubbling.
  3. In a skillet over medium heat, add the mixed vegetables and sauté until they are tender, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk (or cream), and a pinch of salt and pepper until well combined.
  5. In the pie crust, layer the sautéed vegetables and drained tuna evenly. Pour the egg mixture over the top, ensuring an even distribution.
  6. Sprinkle the shredded cheese on top of the quiche.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until the quiche is firm in the center and lightly golden on top.
  8. Once baked, remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing.
  9. Garnish with fresh herbs and serve warm or at room temperature.

This Tuna and Vegetable Quiche is perfect for meal prep, as it can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator. Slice it into individual portions for a quick lunch option throughout the week. Enjoy this delightful dish with a side of mixed greens for a complete meal!
