Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cans (5 oz each) Canned tuna
- 0.25 cups Mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 1 stalk (diced) Celery
- 0.25 cups (finely chopped) Red onion
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 8 Soft dinner rolls
- 2 tablespoons (melted) Butter
- 1 tablespoon (chopped, optional) Parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Drain the canned tuna thoroughly and transfer it to a medium mixing bowl.
Add the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, diced celery, chopped red onion, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice to the bowl. Mix well until the ingredients are evenly combined.
Slice the dinner rolls in half horizontally, leaving the top attached to the bottom to create a 'pocket'.
Spoon the tuna mixture evenly into the rolls, dividing it among all 8 rolls.
Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top of the tuna filling in each roll.
Brush the tops of the rolls with melted butter for a golden finish.
Place the rolls on the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the rolls are warm.
Remove from the oven, garnish with chopped parsley if desired, and serve immediately while warm.
