Simple Tuna Bake

  • 1 Tbsp. butter
  • 2 Tbsp. chopped celery
  • 1-2 Tbsp. sliced spring onion

  • 1 cup grated mozzarella cheese
  • Cauliflower mash for topping (recipe link below)

Method:

  1. Preheat oven to 180 degrees C.
  2. Coat a baking dish with cooking spray. (I use coconut oil spray)
  3. Place tuna, cream cheese, spring onion, mayonnaise, salt, pepper, garlic powder and green beans/peas in a large bowl and stir to combine.
  4. Spoon the tuna mixture into your prepared baking dish.
  5. Top with cauliflower mash and sprinkle with cheese.
  6. Bake for 20 minutes until golden and bubbling.
  7. Remove from oven and allow to stand for 5 minutes before serving

EXTRA RECIPES:

OPTIONS:

  • Boil some eggs, slice them up and lay them on top. I often spread half the mixture into the baking dish, add the eggs, then cover with the rest before topping with cheese.
  • You can leave off the cauli mash if you prefer.
  • Top with sweet potato mash (this will increase the carb count though)
