- 1 pre-made pie crust
- 1/2 cup chopped onion
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it is hot and ready for baking the quiche.
- Mix eggs and milk: In a large bowl, whisk together the 4 large eggs and 1 cup of milk until fully combined and smooth.
- Add tuna and seasoning: Stir in the drained tuna, 1 cup shredded cheese, 1/2 cup chopped onion, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper into the egg mixture until evenly incorporated.
- Assemble quiche: Pour the entire mixture evenly into the pre-made pie crust laid in a pie dish, spreading to fill the crust fully.
- Bake quiche: Place the assembled quiche in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes. Bake until the quiche is set in the center and the top has turned a golden brown color.
- Cool and serve: Remove the quiche from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing into 8 servings. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- For best results, ensure the tuna is well drained to prevent a soggy crust.
- You can substitute cheddar cheese with your favorite cheese like Swiss or mozzarella for different flavors.
- If you prefer a crustless version, simply grease the baking dish and omit the pie crust.
- Add fresh herbs like parsley or chives to enhance flavor.
- This quiche can be made ahead and reheated for a quick breakfast option.
