Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cans (5 oz each) canned tuna (in water)
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
- 2 stalks green onions (finely chopped)
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon black pepper (freshly ground)
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 4 slices sliced bread (preferably sourdough or whole grain)
- 1 cup cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (softened)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Drain the canned tuna and transfer it to a mixing bowl. Use a fork to break it into smaller flakes.
Add the mayonnaise, dijon mustard, chopped green onions, lemon juice, black pepper, and salt to the tuna. Mix until well combined.
Lightly butter one side of each slice of bread and place them butter-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Spoon an even amount of the tuna mixture onto each slice of bread, spreading it out evenly but leaving a small border around the edges.
Top each slice with an equal amount of shredded cheddar cheese, ensuring it’s evenly distributed.
Bake in the preheated oven for 6-8 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the edges of the bread are golden brown.
Remove from the oven and allow the toasts to cool for a minute or two before serving. Optionally, garnish with additional green onions.
Serve warm and enjoy your Tuna and Cheddar Toasts!
