Water-packed tuna mixes with soft breadcrumbs, eggs, and parsley, then gets bound with warm milk for a lighter take on the classic.
It’s comfort food that won’t weigh you down.
Kitchen Tips
- Use soft fresh breadcrumbs for a tender texture
- Heat the milk and breadcrumbs first so the margarine melts evenly

- Don’t overbake; the center should be set but still slightly soft
- Serve with a side salad or steamed vegetables
Variations
- Add frozen peas or diced celery for vegetables
- Use whole wheat breadcrumbs for extra fiber
- Top with a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese
- Mix in Dijon mustard for tangy depth
