Description

This Crustless Tuna Breakfast Quiche is a healthy, protein-packed breakfast option that’s low-carb, gluten-free, and loaded with vegetables. Quick and easy to prepare, it’s perfect for busy mornings or meal prep.


Ingredients

Scale
  • Main Ingredients:
    • 3 large eggs
    • 1/2 zucchini, grated
    • 1/2 carrot, grated
    • 1/2 onion, grated
    • 1 cup canned tuna (drained)
    • 3 tbsp cream cheese
    • 3 tbsp oats
  • Seasonings:
    • 1 tbsp fresh or dried basil
    • 1 tbsp fresh or dried dill
    • 1/2 tsp black pepper
    • Salt to taste

Instructions

Prep the Ingredients:

  • Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
  • Chop the herbs and grate the zucchini, carrot, and onion. Drain the canned tuna thoroughly.

2. Mix the Batter:

  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the cream cheese and eggs until smooth and lump-free (or close to it).
  • Add the grated vegetables, tuna, oats, basil, dill, pepper, and salt. Stir until evenly combined.

3. Prepare the Baking Pan:

  • Line a smaller springform or baking pan with parchment paper. Alternatively, use a muffin pan with liners to create mini quiches.

4. Bake the Quiche:

  • Pour the mixture into the prepared pan or muffin liners.
  • Bake for 20 minutes, or until the quiche is set and lightly golden on top. (Cooking time may vary depending on your oven.)

5. Cool and Serve:

  • Let the quiche cool slightly before removing it from the pan. Slice and serve warm.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Notes

  • Vegetable Variations: Swap or add vegetables like spinach, bell peppers, or mushrooms to customize the quiche to your taste.
  • Dairy-Free Option: Use dairy-free cream cheese or unsweetened almond milk instead of regular cream cheese for a dairy-free version.
