Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Broccoli florets
- 1 can (5 oz) Canned tuna (drained)
- 6 large Eggs
- 1 cup Milk
- 1 cup Sharp cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 0.5 cup Onion (finely chopped)
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried basil
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- (for greasing the pan) Cooking spray or butter
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish with cooking spray or butter.
Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add the broccoli florets and blanch them for 2–3 minutes until they are slightly tender but still crisp. Drain and set aside.
In a skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil. Add the chopped onion and cook for 3–4 minutes until it softens and becomes translucent. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant, then remove from heat.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, dried basil, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, drained tuna, sautéed onion and garlic, and blanched broccoli. Stir gently to mix evenly.
Pour the mixture into the prepared pie dish, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the quiche is set and the top is golden. To check doneness, insert a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean.
Remove the quiche from the oven and allow it to cool for 5–10 minutes before slicing.
Serve warm and enjoy! This quiche pairs beautifully with a simple green salad or a slice of crusty bread.
