Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces English muffins
- 1 can (about 5 oz) Canned tuna in water
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 stalk (finely chopped) Celery
- 2 tablespoons (finely chopped) Red onion
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 slices Cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon Butter
Instructions
Preheat the broiler in your oven to high.
Slice the English muffins in half and lightly toast them in a toaster or under the broiler for 1-2 minutes. Set them aside.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the canned tuna (drained), mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, finely chopped celery, and red onion. Mix well.
Season the tuna mixture with salt and black pepper, adjusting to taste.
Spread a thin layer of butter on each cut side of the toasted English muffin halves.
Place the toasted English muffin halves on a baking sheet, buttered side up. Evenly spoon the tuna mixture onto the halves.
Top each tuna-covered muffin half with a slice of cheddar cheese.
Place the baking sheet under the broiler for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the tuna melts to cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy!
