Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables
- ½ zucchini, grated
- ½ carrot, grated
- ½ onion, grated
Protein & Dairy
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup canned tuna, drained
- 3 tbsp cream cheese
Herbs & Seasoning
- 1 tbsp fresh basil, chopped
- 1 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
- salt, to taste
- ½ tsp black pepper
Others
- 3 tbsp oats
Instructions
- Prepare: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Chop the basil and dill finely. Grate the zucchini, carrot, and onion. Drain the canned tuna thoroughly to avoid excess moisture.
- Mixing: In a medium bowl, blend the cream cheese with the eggs until smooth and mostly lump-free. Add the grated vegetables, drained tuna, chopped herbs, oats, salt, and black pepper. Stir everything together until evenly combined.
- Baking: Line a small springform pan or baking dish with parchment paper. Alternatively, use a muffin pan with liners for mini quiches. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until the quiche is set and lightly golden on top. Check doneness as ovens vary.
- Slice & Serve: Allow the quiche to cool slightly before removing it from the pan. Slice into portions and enjoy immediately, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.
Notes
- Using fresh herbs enhances the flavor, but dried herbs can be substituted if necessary.
- Ensure the canned tuna is well-drained to avoid a watery quiche.
- You can make mini quiches in a muffin pan for easy portion control and quicker baking time.
- This recipe keeps well refrigerated and can be reheated gently in the microwave or oven.
