This tuna bread is one of the easiest and healthiest recipes to prepare for a brunch. It’s naturally gluten-free, high in protein, and full of herbs and vegetables, making it suitable for almost any guest, even those who follow light, low-carb, or keto-friendly diets.
I make this recipe very often, and it’s always a success. You can serve it warm or cold, add a homemade sauce, or keep it simple.
If you have friends who only eat keto-friendly recipes, this dish works perfectly.
