Asian Tuna Quiche

An Asian flavoured quiche may sound a little strange but believe me it is delicious. This is lovely lunch food with a light salad but also excellent for a picnic.

* 4 eggs
* 300ml Crème Fraiche
* 1 tablespoon Sweet Chilli Sauce
* 1 tin Tuna
* 1 Large Spanish Onion (diced)
* 1 large Red Pepper (diced)
* ( 6 Spring Onions (finely chopped)
* Handful of chopped mint
* Handful of chopped coriander
* Chilli Flakes (optional in you want it hot)
* 200g Mild Cheddar Cheese
* 1 packet of ready rolled Puff Pastry
* Salt to taste
- Heat oven to 160°C
- Cook both types of onion and red pepper in a little bit of olive oil till soft.
- Combine eggs, crème fraiche, sweet chilli, cheese, tuna and herbs together in a bowl, then once the onions and peppers have cooled add them to the mixture and combine all ingredients well.
- Place rolled pastry in either a tart tin (30cm) or a ceramic baking dish ensuring base and sides are covered.
- Pour in quiche mixture till full then place in oven for about 40mins till pastry edges are golden and centre is solid.
- Serve with Salad Greens and Asian style dressing

Note: Alternatively you could use this mixture to make about 30 mini frittatas (just forget the pastry and use a mini muffin tin).
