I like the sound of broccoli tuna quiche. Do you have a recipe to share?

My mom has Celiac disease so she makes all kinds of things likes pies and cheesecakes but without crusts.

For "Broccoli tuna quiche" following her recipe, we take 1 can tuna, mix with 1 small container (250g) ricotta cheese, 1/3 cup milk, one head of broccoli chopped into florets and boiled for 3 minutes and mix with 6 beaten eggs. Add in your favourite spices if you like (e.g. oregano, basil, thyme) or a teaspoon of pesto paste.

You need to really drain the tuna and the cooked broccoli well so that their water does not affect the consistency of the egg mixture. Pour it right into a greased large pie or quiche dish. Sprinkle some shredded cheese or grated parmesan on top and cook at 375 for about 30 minutes or until set in the centre. Cool 5 min then eat!

Of course you can sub in other veggies of choice, such as onions, mushrooms, olives, sun-dried tomatoes to flavour the quiche.
