Notes

This crispy tuna oat breakfast skillet is the kind of dish that makes you look at a simple cup of oats in a completely new way. Instead of turning them into porridge, you transform them into a golden, pan‑fried “slice” that feels a little like a savoury pancake and a little like a crustless pizza. The oats soak in milk until they become soft and creamy, then they are enriched with eggs, herbs and paprika so the mixture sets into a tender, flavourful base. Drained tuna brings gentle richness and protein, while mozzarella melts through the mixture and creates soft, cheesy strands in every bite. Fresh green onion adds a bright, fresh note that cuts through the richness and keeps the flavour lively.
