Today I have an awesome guest post from Whitney from Whitty Paleo ! Her blog is filled with delicious paleo dishes and treats, so be sure to follow her! Enjoy her post below… -Hannah Healy
What a way to start your day! This Tuna & Mushroom Egg Bake recipe is sure to put a pep in your step!
You’ll love this recipe because it is lusciously loaded with veggies, protein and healthy fats. What’s also great is, you can take this and completely make it your own! Don’t have tuna? Try some mackerel or sardines. Don’t like mushrooms or peppers? Use whatever veggies you have to hand. You can’t sub the eggs though, I’m afraid – unless you don’t mind the bake falling apart on your plate lol! I made the exact same thing but subbed the tuna for some delicious shrimp and it was delightful!
I’m still working on curbing my sweet tooth, so when I’m not having a sweet smoothie bowl or almond butter pancakes for breakfast, a savoury breakfast bake gets me back in balance. If you’ve ever wanted to just stumble out of bed with your breakfast waiting; make this ahead, freeze and defrost (only takes a few minutes), then start your day with a bang!
- 6 large eggs
- ½ cup coconut milk
- ½ tsp ground cayenne pepper
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ¼ pink himalayan salt
- ½ tsp dried chillies
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2-3 large chestnut (cremini) mushrooms, sliced (around 1½ cup yield)
- 1 bell pepper, diced (around 1 cup yield)
- 2 cups (around 5 oz.) spring greens
- ¼ tsp pink himalayan salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 1 can of wild tuna (5 oz.), drained
- Preheat oven to 175C/350F
- For the egg mixture: Crack eggs in a mixing bowl, add coconut milk and seasonings.
- Using an oven/direct-heat safe pot, on a low-medium heat, sauté onion and mushrooms for 5-8 minutes till onions are translucent and mushrooms are soft.
- Add bell peppers, cook for further 3-4 minutes.
- Add spring greens and cook till they turn bright green and slightly wilted down.
- Add in your tuna, mix to incorporate.
- Add in your eggs. Place the dish in the oven for 40-45 minutes, until the egg is cooked through (check this with a fork in the middle). I like the top of the bake to be crispy so I leave it in until it is golden brown on the top.

Looks good! I almost never use tuna outside of sandwiches.
Me neither! It’s good new use for tuna! 🙂
This is great for Friday breakfast during Lent! The whole family loves it.
