TUNA FLORENTINE



Tuna Florentine image

My mom used to make individual portions and bake them in scallop shells. Great memories!

Provided by Susan Whitley

Categories     Fish

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 pkg frozen spinach
2 Tbsp minced onion
2 can(s) tuna
2 can(s) cream of mushroom soup
1 c sour cream
salt and pepper to taste
2 c bread crumbs
1/4 c melted butter
1/4 c parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • 2. Thaw and drain spinach squeezing out excess water. Spread spinach evenly in a greased 2 quart casserole. Sprinkle onions and tuna over spinach.
  • 3. Mix soup and sour cream together and pour over ingredients in casserole.
  • 4. Mix bread crumbs with melted butter and sprinkle over top of casserole along with parmesan cheese.
  • 5. Bake at 350 degrees or until golden and bubbly.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients. The fresher the ingredients, the better the dish will taste. This is especially true for the tuna and the spinach.
  • Cook the tuna properly. Tuna should be cooked quickly over high heat so that it remains tender and juicy. Overcooking will make it dry and tough.
  • Don't overcook the spinach. Spinach should be cooked just until it is wilted. Overcooking will make it slimy and mushy.
  • Use a good quality cheese. The cheese is one of the main ingredients in this dish, so it's important to use a good quality cheese that will melt well and add a lot of flavor.
  • Serve immediately. Tuna Florentine is best served immediately after it is cooked. This will ensure that the dish is hot and the cheese is melted and gooey.

Conclusion:

Tuna Florentine is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick and easy weeknight dinner. It is also a great way to get your daily dose of omega-3 fatty acids, which are essential for heart health. So next time you're looking for a healthy and delicious meal, give Tuna Florentine a try!
