Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cans Canned tuna (drained)
- 3 large Eggs
- 1 cup Shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
- 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs
- 2 stalks Green onion (chopped)
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- Cooking spray or oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray or oil.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained canned tuna, eggs, shredded cheese, breadcrumbs, green onion, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Mix well until all the ingredients are thoroughly combined and the mixture holds together when pressed.
Scoop the mixture evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup almost to the top and patting down gently to compress.
Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and slightly crisp.
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes in the tin before transferring them to a wire rack to cool further.
Serve warm as a snack, breakfast, or with a side salad for a light meal. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.
