Cheesy Tuna & Corn Bites
Sometimes tuna gets a bad wrap, often labelled stinky and tasteless. However, this little recipe is sure to change a few minds. These tasty bites are so delicious and super easy to make! Loaded with protein, these are perfect for a snack or even as a meal with some salad or veggies. Hot or cold these Cheesy Tuna Corn Bites will become a regular in your household.
Feel free to get creative, swap and add ingredients as you please. For example, salmon is a great substitute for tuna and grated carrot and zucchini can be a great addition, but reduce the corn accordingly. Just remember quality ingredients are the key.
You may think there is something a little ‘fishy’ about this recipe and quite frankly it’s a little ‘corny’! However, they’re so yum! Give ‘em a go!
SERVES: 12
PREP: 15 MINS
COOK TIME: 30 MINS
INGREDIENTS LIST:
2 sweetcorn, kernels removed
180g can tuna in olive oil (I like Sirena), drained
5 eggs
2/3 cup cottage cheese
1 brown onion, finely diced
½ cup grated cheddar cheese
¼ cup parsley, finely chopped
DIRECTIONS:
Preheat oven to 180C and lightly grease a non-stick muffin pan with butter or oil.
In a large bowl lightly whisk eggs, then whisk in cottage cheese. Mix in corn and onion, then gently fold through tuna, so it is still chunky.
Divide mixture amongst all 12 muffin spaces and top with grated cheddar and then sprinkle with chopped parsley.
Place in oven and bake for approximately 30 minutes, or until they are golden.
