• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray or oil.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained canned tuna, eggs, shredded cheese, breadcrumbs, green onion, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

Mix well until all the ingredients are thoroughly combined and the mixture holds together when pressed.

Step 4

Scoop the mixture evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup almost to the top and patting down gently to compress.

Step 5

Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and slightly crisp.

Step 6

Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes in the tin before transferring them to a wire rack to cool further.

Step 7

Serve warm as a snack, breakfast, or with a side salad for a light meal. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.
