Ingredients

Scale

1 pre-made pie crust (9-inch)
4 large eggs
1 cup whole milk
1 can (5 oz) tuna, drained
½ cup bell peppers, chopped
½ cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
½ cup onions, chopped
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly spray a pie dish with nonstick cooking spray.
Place the pie crust in the dish. If using homemade dough, roll it out and press it into the dish.
In a skillet over medium heat, sauté the onions and bell peppers until soft (about 5 minutes). Set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until frothy. Stir in the drained tuna, sautéed veggies, shredded cheese, salt, and pepper.
Pour the mixture into the prepared pie crust and give it a gentle jiggle.
Bake for 35-40 minutes or until golden brown on top and set in the middle. A toothpick inserted should come out clean.
Let cool for five minutes before slicing.
