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!
What a way to start your day! This Tuna & Mushroom Egg Bake recipe is sure to put a pep in your step!
- 6 large pastured eggs
- ½ cup coconut milk
- ½ tsp cayenne
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ¼ tsp Himalayan pink salt
- ½ tsp dried chilies
- 1 medium onion diced
- 2-3 large chestnut cremini mushrooms, sliced (around 1 1/2 cup yield)
- 1 bell pepper diced (around 1 cup yield)
- 2 cups spring greens (around 5 oz.)
- ¼ tsp Himalayan pink salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 1 can wild-caught 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.
NOTES: If you don’t have an oven safe dish, you can simply use a pot to sauté your veggies and place them in a baking dish. For size, my pot is 25cm (10 inches).

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.
This is delicious and very very easy. I followed the recipe to the letter (very unlike me) and everyone loved it. Will definitely be making this again. Thankyou
Glad you enjoyed it!
