Delicious! I added one shredded carrot, 1/4 red bell pepper shredded, 6 green olives cut in little pieces, and mixed the cheese, half mozzarella, half cheddar. 1/4 cup of parmesan cheese on top.

Barb   

Yum!

Didn't enjoy it at all. Added celery and red pepper. Took way longer to cook than noted time. Was very watery. Ate it because we were hungry. Would not make again.

Robert   

Mine was a watery mess as well, I hope it dries out.

Great easy to make easy to follow recipe. I added a tin of corn and it worked a charm. Used a rectangular baking dish and turned out just fine. Delicious meal with a fresh garden salad. Will post a photo when I get a chance.

Thank you

You add FLOUR and claim it to be gluten-free? Let's try again, shall we?

happyzhangbo   

Thanks for your comment. Just edited the recipe, and you are right. Gluten free shouldn’t be one of the categories! Happy cooking :)

Tried it more than once family and friends enjoyed it.

anonymous South Africa

Am planning to use pink salmon (canned) and will report result once made. Thank u fr this simple recipe which I plan to embellish a bit !

anonymous

At what time is the milk added?

Susan   

The milk is added after beating the eggs - the directions state "add all other ingredients" - perhaps it could be re-written for a bit more clarity!

anonymous

I really enjoyed it tuna quiche and I add spinach. Thanks for the recipes

anonymous South Africa

This has become a firm favourite in our family. I use cheddar cheese instead of Swiss Cheese, Left over yolks go into baking items, or scrambled eggs. (South Africa)

anonymous

This looks delicious - am baking this tonight! We love tuna - seems quick and easy to make. Thx so much for the recipe!

In a 4 cup measuring bowl, add 3 eggs. Beat the eggs until blended. Add 1–1/2 cups of half & half (or heavy cream) to the eggs. Add pepper, pinch of salt, 1 Tbls lemon juice. Mix well. Add 2 cans tuna, 1/2 cup white sharp cheddar cheese to the egg mixture.
Sauté separately in a tablespoon of butter green onions, mushrooms. Add to it to the egg mix and stir well to combine. Pour into your quiche dish. Top with a cup of whatever shredded cheese you like, be it more white sharp, Parmesan, Jarlsberg, Gruyère. Then dot top with 2 Tablespoons of cold butter. Bake at 375 degrees for 25-30min. Inserting a pick, it should come out clean to know it’s done.

Anne

Absolutely delicious, I was glad that I had done enough to get two meals out of it, thank you for sharing

Linda

Yummy! Made mine with ham, broccoli, yellow pepper with a side of homemade home fries! Have a great day everyone!

Can you leave all the eggs whole?
If so, how would the recipe need adjusting?

Luke Ghost   Australia

well if you left them whole it would be a bit crunchy
but for fetishes eating eggshell might be hot or someting

Mary   

For using all whole eggs, I'd just use 3 or 4 whole large eggs and omit the egg whites. It'll turn out fine.

U. R. AbigPP

I want the cabbage

Heleen

I just mixed everything together and sprayed a muffin pan with cooking spray and filled it with the mixture and it came out delicious!

sean   

I love it! Tuna quiche muffins are so easy to make, too.

HI
How do i do this recipe for 6?

John   

For 6 to 8 servings, I would double the ingredients and use a 13x9 inch baking dish (or equivalent) instead of a pie dish.

Mary

We like adding a tablespoon of Dijon mustard mixed with the tuna.
