1 Baking Pan 9" x 13"
Parchment paper
Batter:
- 3 large eggs
- ⅔ cup canola oil or olive oil
- 1 ½ cup milk
- ½ cup parmesan cheese grated
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon dry oregano
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Filling:
- 2 cans tuna drained and flaked
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes cut in halves
- 1 medium red onion cut into half-moon slices
- ½ cup green peas frozen or fresh
- 1 cup sweet corn frozen or fresh
- 2 tablespoon apple vinegar
Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
Cut the tomatoes in half and slice the onions into thin half-moons. Drain the canned tuna and place it in a medium bowl. Add the green peas, sweet corn, apple cider vinegar, and a pinch of salt, then mix well.
In a blender, combine the eggs, canola oil, milk, grated Parmesan cheese, baking powder, all-purpose flour, salt, oregano, and black pepper. Blend for about 1 minute, or until the batter is completely smooth with no lumps.
Grease a baking sheet with oil and pour in the batter. Spread the tuna mixture evenly over the top, followed by the sliced tomatoes. Finally, arrange the onions on top.
Bake for 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let it cool slightly before serving.
