Equipment

  • 1 Baking Pan 9" x 13"
  • Parchment paper

Ingredients

Batter:

  • 3 large eggs
  • 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

Instructions

  • 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.

Notes

Make It Your Own

  • This recipe is super versatile! Swap out the tuna for shredded chicken, cooked ground beef, or even sautéed mushrooms for a vegetarian version.
  • Try adding chopped olives or capers for an extra briny kick.

Serving Ideas

  • This tuna pie pairs beautifully with a fresh green salad or a simple tomato and cucumber salad for a light meal.
  • You can serve warm or at room temperature, making it great for packed lunches or picnics.
