Ingredients
2 × 185g cans tuna in oil blend, drained
4 desiree potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 onion, sliced
3 stalks silverbeet, stalks finely chopped and leaves chopped
½ teaspoon dried oregano
60g Parmesan cheese, grated
1 bunch cherry tomatoes (on the vine if available)
3 eggs
300ml thickened cream
1 large handful breadcrumbs
Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 180°C (356°F).
- In a frying pan, heat olive oil over medium‑high heat. Add onion and silverbeet stalks. Cook until softened. Add silverbeet leaves, cook another minute. Season with salt, pepper, and oregano. Remove from heat.
- Whisk together eggs and cream in a bowl, season with salt and pepper.
- Lightly grease a baking dish. Spread half the breadcrumbs over the bottom.
- Layer potatoes (2‑3 slices), half the silverbeet mixture, half the tuna, and some Parmesan. Drizzle with half of the egg‑cream mixture.
- Repeat with the remaining potatoes, silverbeet, tuna, Parmesan, and pour over the rest of the egg‑cream mixture. Top with remaining breadcrumbs and Parmesan.
- Cover dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
- Remove foil, add cherry tomatoes on top, bake uncovered for another 20‑30 minutes until golden and set, blistering the tomatoes in the final 10 minutes.
- Let rest for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
- You can swap silverbeet with spinach, kale, or Swiss chard.
- Add other vegetables such as zucchini or bell peppers for extra color and nutrients.
- For extra cheesy top, use mozzarella or cheddar along with Parmesan.
- Make it gluten‑free by using gluten‑free breadcrumbs.
- Let it sit overnight (covered) and bake the next day if prepping ahead.
