SMALL TUNA AND BROCCOLI CRUST-LESS QUICHE

Small Tuna and Broccoli Crust-Less Quiche image

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.

Don't overcook the quiche: The quiche is done when the center is just set. Overcooking will make the quiche dry and tough.
Let the quiche cool slightly before serving: This will allow the quiche to set and make it easier to slice.
Serve the quiche with a side salad or roasted vegetables: This will make a complete and satisfying meal.

Crustless quiche is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is also a great way to use up leftover vegetables and cheese. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a delicious and satisfying quiche that the whole family will love.
