Ingredients

• 185 grams Canned tuna
• 4 large Eggs
• 120 ml Milk
• 100 grams Cheddar cheese, shredded
• 30 grams All-purpose flour
• 50 grams Spinach, chopped
• 1 small Onion, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 2 tablespoons Parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 as needed Non-stick cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Spray a 12-cup muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.

Step 2

Drain the canned tuna thoroughly and flake it with a fork into small pieces. Set aside.

Step 3

In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the finely chopped onion until soft and translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add the chopped spinach and cook for another 2 minutes until wilted. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and parsley. Gradually whisk in the flour and baking powder to create a smooth batter. Season with salt and black pepper.

Step 5

Stir the flaked tuna, sautéed onion and spinach mixture, and shredded cheddar cheese into the egg batter until evenly combined.

Step 6

Divide the mixture evenly among the prepared muffin tin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the quiches are puffed and golden brown on top.

Step 8

Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the mini quiches cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Then carefully transfer them to a wire rack to cool slightly before serving.

Step 9

Serve warm or allow the mini quiches to cool completely for meal prep or on-the-go snacks. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
