Tuna quiche is a savory dish combining flaky pastry, creamy filling, and the mild, versatile flavor of tuna. Originating from French cuisine, quiche typically features eggs, cream, and a variety of fillings baked into a golden crust. In this variation, tuna is paired with ingredients like shredded cheese, onions, spinach, or tomatoes for added texture and flavor. Tuna is a rich source of lean protein and omega-3 fatty acids, promoting heart health and brain function. The eggs contribute essential nutrients like choline and vitamin D. While nutritious, the high fat content from cream and cheese, as well as the pastry’s refined flour, can make it calorie-dense and less ideal for frequent consumption. Moderation and ingredient substitutions, such as using low-fat dairy or whole-grain crust, can enhance its health profile while preserving the dish’s satisfying balance of tastes and textures.
