Crustless Tuna Quiche
Here is a protein rich and a low-carb dish that is suitable also for gluten-free diets. These are great to have at breakfast, brunch or even a light lunch or a side dish. They are filled with tuna, eggs, cheese, onion and milk. By not eating the pie crust you are saving yourself so many calories without compromising on taste. Feel free to change cooked shrimp/ chicken/ crab for tuna. I love to eat these straight out of the oven with a side salad. However, they can be frozen and reheated. Pleasespray the muffin tins with cooking spray, to make sure they do not stick to the pan. Happy eating!
Heat oil in a pan and add the onion, stir to translucent.
Add the cooked onion and stir to homogenize the mixture.
Spoon the tuna batter evenly into the prepared muffin pan, filling each almost to the top

These where absolutely delicious. I did make a few changes. I used 1/2 cup milk, 1/2 cup cream, 1 tsp mixed spice, 1/2Tsp seasoning and inised 1 cup mozzarella. My fussy 3 year old really enjoyed them.
