A quick, dairy-free, and high-protein single-serving frittata, perfect for a fast and tasty Paleo lunch using pantry staples.

If you are looking for a quick and nutritious lunch idea today, this Paleo Tuna and Herb Frittata is exactly what you need. Strictly following a Paleo diet means eliminating dairy, grains, and ultra-processed foods, focusing instead on whole foods, quality lean proteins, and healthy fats. This recipe fits these essential guidelines perfectly. Often we find ourselves at lunchtime not knowing what to prepare, especially when cooking for just one person and time is short. That is where our Paleo Tuna and Herb Frittata comes to the rescue: using simple canned tuna and a couple of fresh eggs, you can put a complete, satisfying, and absolutely delicious meal on the table in less than ten net minutes. The extra virgin olive oil, used to grease the pan, gives not only a rich and exquisitely Mediterranean flavor, but also provides those essential fatty acids so valuable for our daily well-being. The fresh parsley, chopped and added to the mixture at the last moment, gives a vibrant herbaceous freshness that perfectly balances the natural saltiness of the fish. This Paleo Tuna and Herb Frittata is incredibly versatile: you can enjoy it piping hot straight from the pan, or prepare it in advance and eat it conveniently at room temperature. You won't miss the cheese at all: the natural creaminess of the eggs and the bold flavor of the basic ingredients will create an irresistible combination.

Ingredients

  • 75 g Canned Tuna (half a can)
  • 2 count Eggs
  • 0.5 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 1 tbsp Fresh Parsley (finely chopped)

Instructions

  2. 2
    In a small bowl, beat the eggs vigorously until frothy.
  3. 3
    Add the flaked canned tuna and the chopped fresh parsley to the eggs. Mix well to combine the mixture.
  4. 4
    Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat.
  5. 5
    Pour the mixture into the hot pan and cook for about 4 minutes, or until the edges release easily.

    Gently flip the frittata and cook for another 2 minutes on the other side until it is completely golden brown.
  7. 7
    Transfer to a plate and serve immediately.

Chef's Tips

  • •To make the frittata even fluffier without adding dairy, it is recommended to add a tablespoon of water to the eggs before beating them.
  • •It pairs very well with a simple green salad or a few slices of fresh tomato on the side.
