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.
