Small Tuna and Broccoli Crust-Less Quiche

Submitted by Queen Dana

"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."

Do you have these measurements in French terms, for the other 200 nations that don't use Imperial? I am in Oz.

Made this and was very good. Extra sharp cheddar cheese would be better to use I think--more flavor, but I liked it alot. Will make again. :) 12-27-14

This made a super quick and delicious dinner. The broccoli was washed and placed in a small microwave dish. It was microwaved until crisp tender then a knife was run through it to roughly chop it. The tuna was a 7 oz can. It is not only good for a low carb meal but it is perfect for a gluten free as well. Made for PAC Spring 2011.
