Description
Delicious and easy-to-make tuna melts that are perfect for a quick meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can Canned Tuna (Solid white albacore preferred)
- 2 tablespoons Jalapeños (Fresh, diced)
- 1 cup Sharp Cheddar Cheese (Shredded)
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise (Substitute with Greek yogurt for lighter option)
- 4 slices Bread (Sourdough, whole wheat, or bagels)
- 2 tablespoons Pickled Jalapeños (For extra spice)
- 1 stalk Celery (Chopped for crunch)
Instructions
- Drain the canned tuna and place it in a mixing bowl. Dice fresh jalapeños and add them along with shredded sharp cheddar cheese and mayonnaise. Gently mix until combined but still chunky.
- Select your type of bread and slice it accordingly. Lay the bread slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Generously spoon the tuna filling onto each slice of bread, spreading evenly. Optionally, sprinkle additional cheddar cheese and jalapeño slices on top.
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and bake the melts for 7 to 9 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the bread is golden.
- For a crispier texture, broil the melts for an additional 2 to 3 minutes, watching closely to avoid burning.
- Once baked, let the melts cool slightly and serve warm with fresh vegetables or potato chips.
Notes
- For lighter options, substitute mayonnaise with Greek yogurt.
- Feel free to add more jalapeños if you like it spicier.
