Bumble Bee Quick 'n Easy Recipe Contest

Bumble Bee Quick 'n Easy Recipe Contest
Winner: Michaela Rosenthal!
In August, Bumble Bee launched its Quick ‘n Easy Recipe contest  on Facebook. There were numerous original recipes submitted, and after the fans helped us narrow it down to the top 10 recipes, our celebrity chef partner, Chef Scott Leibfried, declared a winner!
The grand prize winner is Michaela Rosenthal with her Creamy Tuna & Green Olive Quiche recipe. Chef Scott noted that her recipe incorporated an excellent variety of fresh ingredients that are easy to find. Check out Michaela’s full recipe below:



Creamy Tuna & Green Olive Quiche Ingredients:
2 (5 oz) cans Bumble Bee Tuna (packed in oil), drained & flaked
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
3 large eggs, beaten
1 cup thick dairy cream
1 cup grated Gruyere or baby Swiss cheese

¼ cup slivered sun-dried tomatoes (packed in oil)
2 tablespoons minced shallot
2 tablespoons minced chives
2 teaspoons chopped fresh dill 1 teaspoon seafood seasoning
1 (9”) unbaked deep pie crust shell (homemade or purchased)
Directions:
Heat oven to 375 degrees f. Sprinkle tuna with lemon juice; set aside. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and cream. Stir in cheese, green olives and sun-dried tomatoes. Add tuna, shallot, chives, dill and seafood seasoning. Place pie shell on a cookie sheet and fill with quiche mixture. Bake for 50-55 minutes until set.
