Got this recipe from a friend of mine (thanks, Nancy!) awhile ago and have used it a lot over the years. While the ingredients aren't exactly that great for you...you can make some substitutions like me to make it a bit healthier...it is really delicious and hits the spot for any meal.
Tuna Quiche--the original recipe!
1 6-7 oz can tuna in oil, drained
1 frozen pie crust (deep dish recommended)
1 6 oz pkg of Swiss cheese, shredded
2 eggs, beaten
1 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup onion, chopped
1/2 cup milk
Bread Crumbs
MMWM Notes:
1. I got rid of the crust and bread crumbs. You can make this crust less, or come up with a creative vegetable crust. For one pie, I mixed cooked spaghetti squash with grated zucchini and threw that into the bottom of the pan (also threw a bit on top with some chopped up parsley, instead of bread crumbs, which was yummy too--see photo below). For another pie, I simply used grated zucchini and mixed it with some Italian seasoning for the "crust" and topping. Ta da!
2. Recommended healthier substitutions...
* Use tuna in water, drained
* Olive Oil Low Fat Mayonnaise
* Low Fat Swiss cheese (if you can't find shredded Swiss cheese, I simply bought a pack of Swiss cheese slices and crumbled them up)
* Egg Whites instead of whole eggs (3 egg whites=1 whole egg)
3. Feel free to throw more veggies into this quiche (and delete the onions if you don't like them)--good choices might include, red pepper, spinach, broccoli, squash, peas, etc.
