Introduction

looks like a muffin, tastes like a dream. Great for lunch, but fancy enough to serve for brunch with friends! Really - these are yummy, and I don't even love tuna fish :)

Ingredients

6 oz chunk light tuna, well drained (I use those foil pouches)

1/4 cup finely diced onion

1/4 cup finely diced celery

2 T finely diced red pepper

2 T finely diced green pepper

3 oz cream cheese, softened (30 sec in microwave)

3 eggs, beaten

3 oz cheddar cheese, shredded

Creole or Bay seasoning to taste (abt 1/4 tsp)

Dash cayenne pepper (optional)

1 tsp baking powder (use kind w/o aluminum)

Directions

Heat oven to 350

spray muffin tin with no stick oil (or perhaps use paper liners - these were just sl. tricky to get out w/oil)

Use a fork to mix all ingredients together well in mixing bowl

Spoon into muffin cups - Ok to fill pretty high - they don't rise that much.

Bake 35 min or so, until knife comes out clean.

Cool and enjoy!



Makes 6 yummy muffins.

Serving suggestion - add a dollop of greek yogurt or sour cream plus sprinkle of chives or dill to each muffin.

Serve with a nice mixed greens salad and lemon juice/olive oil dressing.

Enjoy!
