Best 8 Tuna Quiche Recipes
Tuna quiche, a classic French dish, is a savory pastry filled with a custard-like mixture of eggs, cream, and cheese, along with tuna and vegetables. It's a versatile dish that can be served for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. This article provides three delicious recipes for tuna quiche: a traditional quiche, a crustless quiche, and a mini quiche.

All three recipes are easy to follow and can be adapted to your own preferences, whether you prefer a thicker or thinner crust, more or less vegetables, or a different type of cheese.

MOM'S TUNA QUICHE
My mom used to make this when I was a kid. Love the flavor and it is SO quick and EASY! Serve with salad, fruit and muffins for brunch or lunch or bring it to a pot luck. Another variation I do is with chicken chunks, spinach, mushrooms, scallions and cheddar cheese. I usually make one of each since the pie crusts come in...

Steps:
- 1. Wash and chop mushrooms or use pre-sliced. Sautee in butter until moisture is removed.
- 2. While mushrooms are cooking, chop scallions, grate cheese and drain tuna
- 3. Place one (uncooked) pie crust in a deep-dish pie plate. Top with tuna, cheese, sautéed mushrooms and scallions.
- 4. Beat together eggs, milk and seasonings and pour on top of tuna mixture. (You can add a sprinkle more of cheese on top if you like.) Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes. You can protect the crust edges with foil, but I have found that I don't need to. Let cool 10 minutes before cutting.

SMALL TUNA AND BROCCOLI CRUST-LESS QUICHE
I threw this together for lunch today, I'm doing a low carb diet right now and thought a quiche would be a nice change from a salad type lunch. I didn't specify what kind of cheese to use but please do not use a mild cheese like mozzarella or a mild cheddar because it will not have enough flavor for the quiche. I used goat cheese that had been immersed in wine, but an extra sharp cheddar, gruyere, or swiss would work really well. ***You will need a 6-inch pie plate for this recipe, you can POSSIBLY use a normal size pie plate if you double the recipe, but proceed with that at your own risk.
