Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces English muffins
- 1 can (5 oz) Canned tuna (in water or oil, drained)
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 stalk Celery (finely diced)
- 2 tablespoons Red onion (finely diced)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (chopped)
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 4 slices Cheddar cheese (sliced)
- 1 tablespoon Butter (softened)
Instructions
Preheat your oven's broiler on high or set your toaster oven to the 'toast' function.
Slice the English muffins in half and spread a thin layer of butter on the cut side of each half.
Place the buttered English muffins cut side up on a baking sheet and toast under the broiler for 1-2 minutes or in a toaster oven until lightly golden. Be careful not to burn them.
In a medium bowl, combine the drained tuna, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, finely diced celery, red onion, fresh parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.
Remove the toasted English muffins from the oven or toaster and evenly distribute the tuna mixture onto all four halves.
Top each tuna-covered English muffin with a slice of cheddar cheese.
Return the baking sheet to the oven under the broiler and broil for another 2-3 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Carefully remove from the oven and let cool for 1-2 minutes before serving.
Serve warm, optionally garnished with additional parsley or a side of fresh salad.
