Albacore Tuna Muffins image

These tuna muffins make for a wonderful light lunch and very festive looking too. The muffins are moist with the veggies inside and chewy at the same time because of the tuna. They are wonderful! Plus, they are low carb and healthy too. The cucumber salad went perfect with them. I actually dipped my muffin into some of the sweet...

Categories     Seafood Appetizers

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 can(s) solid white albacore tuna (6 oz)
1 large egg
2 Tbsp white mushrooms or baby bellas, diced
1 Tbsp onion, minced
2 1/2 Tbsp red bell pepper
3 Tbsp extra sharp cheddar cheese or provolone
1 pinch ground mustard
1 pinch garlic salt
1 pinch fresh cracked black pepper
1/4 tsp herbes de provence
1 Tbsp fresh mint, chopped
GARNISH
shredded cheese
basil, fresh

Steps:

  • 1. Cut up all your veggies. Drain your tuna and place in a bowl and flake the tuna with a fork.
  • 2. Then, add your veggies and seasonings and mix it all together. Now, crack your egg and whisk it well and then add to your mixture.
  • 3. Scoop into a greased muffin pan. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes at 350 degrees. [You could make these into mini muffins and serve as appetizers too.] I am not sure on the time they would have to cook though. Next time, I will try it and add the info here.
  • 4. Remove muffins from tin and add a little more cheese and some herb for garnish.
  • 5. I served my muffins with a cucumber salad.
  • 6. Herbes de Provence: It is a spice mixture that you can buy at most grocery stores. It has rosemary, fennel, savory, thyme, basil, tarragon, dill weed, oregano, lavender, chevril, and marjarom.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality tuna: Look for tuna that is packed in water or olive oil and avoid tuna that is packed in oil, as this will make the muffins oily and heavy.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the muffins tough, so be sure to mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the muffins at a high temperature: This will help to create a crispy exterior and a moist interior.
  • Let the muffins cool before serving: This will help to prevent them from falling apart.
  • Serve the muffins with your favorite dipping sauce: Some popular choices include tartar sauce, Thousand Island dressing, or ranch dressing.

Conclusion:

Tuna muffins are a quick and easy snack or meal that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are a great way to use up leftover tuna, and they can be customized to your liking. With a few simple ingredients, you can make a delicious and satisfying tuna muffin that will be the hit of your next party or potluck.
