🧾 Ingredients:
For the base:
1 can tuna in water (approx. 150 g), well-drained
1 egg
1 tbsp cream cheese or Greek yogurt
2 tbsp shredded cheese (e.g., mozzarella, cheddar)
½ tsp dried oregano or Italian herbs
Salt & pepper to taste
Toppings:
2–3 tbsp sugar-free tomato sauce or passata
2–3 tbsp shredded cheese for topping
Optional toppings: sliced onions, mushrooms, olives, bell peppers, chili flakes, fresh arugula
👩🍳 Instructions:
1. Shake it up:
Add tuna, egg, cream cheese, cheese, herbs, salt, and pepper to a mason jar (with a wide opening) or a mixing bowl.
Shake well (or stir vigorously) until fully combined into a uniform mixture.
2. Form the base:
Spread the mixture evenly on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Shape into a thin, round or oval pizza base (about 1–1.5 cm thick).
3. Pre-bake:
Bake in a preheated oven at 200 °C (390 °F) for about 10 minutes, until the base is firm and slightly golden.
4. Add toppings:
Remove from oven, spread tomato sauce over the base, then add shredded cheese and your favorite toppings.
5. Finish baking:
Return to oven and bake for another 5–7 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbling.
6. Serve:
Garnish with fresh herbs, arugula, or chili flakes. Slice and enjoy hot!
🔄 Variations:
Vegan: Use mashed chickpeas, flax egg, and vegan cheese.
More flavor: Add garlic powder, sun-dried tomatoes, or pesto to the base.
Extra crispy: Add 1 tsp almond flour or psyllium husk to the base mixture.
🧊 Storage:
Fridge: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
Reheating: Best reheated in a dry skillet or oven to maintain crispiness.
Meal Prep: Pre-bake bases in advance, store in the fridge, and add toppings later.
✅ Tips:
The drier the tuna, the better the crust holds—press out excess moisture.
Don’t overload with sauce or wet toppings—keep it light for best texture.
Great as a fast weeknight meal, lunchbox item, or post-workout protein boost.
