Ingredients

• 1 piece 9-inch pie crust
• 1 can (5 ounces) Canned tuna, drained
• 1.5 cups Shredded Swiss cheese
• 4 pieces Large eggs
• 1.5 cups Heavy cream
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoons Dried parsley
• 0.25 teaspoons Onion powder
• 1 teaspoons Olive oil (for greasing)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish with olive oil or cooking spray.

Step 2

Press the pie crust into the pie dish, trimming off any excess dough around the edges. Use a fork to prick the bottom of the crust lightly to prevent bubbling during baking.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, flake the drained tuna with a fork. Spread the tuna evenly over the bottom of the pie crust.

Step 4

Sprinkle the shredded Swiss cheese over the tuna, ensuring an even layer.

Step 5

In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, salt, black pepper, dried parsley, and onion powder until smooth and well combined.

Step 6

Pour the egg mixture carefully over the tuna and cheese layers in the pie crust. Use a spoon to gently distribute the ingredients if needed, ensuring even coverage.

Step 7

Place the quiche on the center rack of the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the custard is set. You can test for doneness by inserting a knife into the center; it should come out clean.

Step 8

Remove the quiche from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes before slicing. This allows the custard to firm up for easy serving.

Step 9

Slice the quiche into wedges and serve warm, at room temperature, or chilled.
