Ingredients

  • 1 store-bought pie crust or homemade if you prefer
  • 1 5 oz can albacore tuna, drained
  • 1 cup fresh spinach roughly chopped
  • 1/2 cup cooked bacon crumbled (about 4-5 slices)
  • 1/2 cup mushrooms sliced
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk or heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon dill
  • Olive oil for sautéing

Instructions

Prepare the Crust:

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the store-bought pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish and prick the bottom with a fork. Pre-bake the crust for 8-10 minutes to prevent it from getting soggy.

Cook the Vegetables:

  • Heat a little olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Sauté the mushrooms until they release their moisture and are golden brown, about 5 minutes. Add the spinach and cook until wilted, about 1-2 minutes. Set aside.

Make the Filling:

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk (or heavy cream), salt, pepper, and dill. Stir in the drained tuna, cooked bacon, sautéed spinach, mushrooms, and shredded cheese.
  • Pour the tuna, spinach, bacon, and mushroom mixture into the pre-baked crust, spreading it out evenly.
  • Bake the quiche in the oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden brown. If the crust edges are browning too quickly, cover them with foil.
  • Cool and Serve:
  • Let the quiche cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
