Introduction
This inverted tuna gratin egg is made using a microwave-safe grill pan. It features a bottom layer of shredded cheese and canned tuna, topped with beaten eggs. Once microwaved and inverted onto a plate, it reveals a golden, crispy, caramelized surface with a juicy, tender center—a quick, simple, and carb-free meal.
Step 1
Generously spread a layer of shredded melting cheese across the bottom of the microwave-safe grill pan.
Step 2
Distribute the canned tuna evenly over the cheese, press down slightly with a spoon, and season with black pepper.
Step 3
Beat the 2 eggs and pour them evenly over the tuna layer. Gently shake the pan to ensure the egg mixture is well-distributed, then sprinkle with a little salt or seasoned salt.
Step 4
Cover the pan with the lid and microwave at 600W for 10 minutes.
Step 5
Once finished, remove the pan from the microwave, take off the lid, place a serving plate over the pan, and invert quickly. The golden, crispy cheese layer should now be on top, ready to slice and serve.
Ingredients List
Important Notes
✨ This recipe uses a microwave-safe grill pan with heat-retention properties; the high temperature at the bottom triggers the Maillard reaction, creating a crispy, golden cheese crust.
⚠️ After microwaving, the base and body of the grill pan will be extremely hot. Please use heat-resistant pads and handle with caution when removing from the microwave or inverting.
