  • 1 ½ cups spinach 
  • ½ cup shredded cheese 
  • 4 ½ tbsp quick oats 

Instructions 

  1. Preheat the Oven: 
  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare a baking dish by either greasing it or lining it with parchment paper. 
  1. Prepare the Vegetables and Tuna: 
  • Drain the canned tuna and break it apart with a fork. 
  • Chop the red bell pepper, scallions, tomatoes, pickled jalapenos, dill, parsley, and olives. 
  • If the spinach leaves are large, chop them roughly. 
  1. Mix the Ingredients: 
  • In a spacious bowl, beat the eggs until they are thoroughly mixed. 
  • Add the drained and flaked tuna, chopped vegetables, spinach, shredded cheese, and quick oats to the bowl. 
  • Mix everything together until well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste. 
  1. Pour into the Baking Dish: 
  • Transfer the mixture into the prepped baking dish, ensuring it is evenly distributed. 
  1. Bake: 
  • Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the pie is set and the top is golden brown. 
  • To check for doneness, insert a toothpick into the center of the pie; it should come out clean. 
  1. Cool and Serve: 
  • Once done, take the pie out of the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes. 
  • Slice the pie into portions and serve warm, or let it cool completely and refrigerate for meal prep.
