Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the beaten eggs, whole grain flour, and milk until smooth.

Step 6

Add the oregano, black pepper, and salt to the egg mixture, and mix to combine.

Step 7

Gently fold the tuna and vegetable mixture into the egg mixture.

Step 8

Grease a 9-inch pie dish with a bit of olive oil, then pour the tuna mixture into the dish, spreading it evenly.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes or until the pie is set and golden on top.

Step 10

Remove from the oven, sprinkle with chopped parsley, and let it cool slightly before slicing.

Step 11

Serve warm or at room temperature, ideally with a side salad for a complete meal.
