Preparation

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F) top/bottom heat and line a 6-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it.

  2. Drain tuna well and flake it in a large bowl.

  3. Finely dice zucchini and red bell pepper, slice spring onions into thin rings. Crumble feta.

  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, low-fat quark, olive oil, baking powder, salt, pepper, and oregano.

  5. Add the diced vegetables, spring onions, and crumbled feta to the tuna and mix well.

  6. Add the egg-quark mixture to the tuna-vegetable mixture and gently combine everything until a homogeneous mixture forms.

  7. Distribute the mixture evenly into the 6 muffin cups.

  8. Bake in the preheated oven for approx. 25-30 minutes, until the muffins are golden brown and firm. Do a skewer test.

  9. Remove the muffins from the oven, let them cool briefly in the tin, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

💡 Tip: For an extra flavor boost, you can add fresh herbs like parsley or basil. The muffins will keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days.
