Tuna muffins are an interesting and original baking option inspired by American cuisine. Light and airy due to whipped egg whites, they have a delicate texture and a rich tuna flavor complemented by the freshness of cherry tomatoes and the aroma of herbs. Sesame adds a light nutty note, while spices enhance the depth of flavor. These muffins are perfect for breakfast, a light snack, or even as appetizers at a party. Their simplicity in preparation and nutritional value make them an excellent choice for fish lovers and those seeking unique culinary solutions.
