This recipe was inspired by a few different ideas from Linda's Low Carb Menus and Recipes. If you haven't been there, you should check it out. It's not exactly paleo, but she definitely has some good ideas, and everything I've tried has been great. I don't even like tuna that much, and I've been having these every day for breakfast. You can eat these hot or cold. If you re-heat them, smash them down with a fork and people won't know your secret muffin tin trick!
