Delicious! I added one shredded carrot, 1/4 red bell pepper shredded, 6 green olives cut in little pieces, and mixed the cheese, half mozzarella, half cheddar. 1/4 cup of parmesan cheese on top.

Didn't enjoy it at all. Added celery and red pepper. Took way longer to cook than noted time. Was very watery. Ate it because we were hungry. Would not make again.
almost 5 years agoHow can this be gluten free when it has flour????
over 4 years agoGreat easy to make easy to follow recipe. I added a tin of corn and it worked a charm. Used a rectangular baking dish and turned out just fine. Delicious meal with a fresh garden salad. Will post a photo when I get a chance.
Thank you

over 4 years agoYou add FLOUR and claim it to be gluten-free? Let's try again, shall we?
over 3 years agoThanks for your comment. Just edited the recipe, and you are right. Gluten free shouldn’t be one of the categories! Happy cooking :)

This has become a firm favourite in our family. I use cheddar cheese instead of Swiss Cheese, Left over yolks go into baking items, or scrambled eggs. (South Africa)

In a 4 cup measuring bowl, add 3 eggs. Beat the eggs until blended. Add 1–1/2 cups of half & half (or heavy cream) to the eggs. Add pepper, pinch of salt, 1 Tbls lemon juice. Mix well. Add 2 cans tuna, 1/2 cup white sharp cheddar cheese to the egg mixture.
22 minutes agoSauté separately in a tablespoon of butter green onions, mushrooms. Add to it to the egg mix and stir well to combine. Pour into your quiche dish. Top with a cup of whatever shredded cheese you like, be it more white sharp, Parmesan, Jarlsberg, Gruyère. Then dot top with 2 Tablespoons of cold butter. Bake at 375 degrees for 25-30min. Inserting a pick, it should come out clean to know it’s done.
