BAGEL TUNA MELT

This is a favourite with my sister-in-law, although the tomato was my addition. I actually prefer cold tuna salad sandwiches, but this makes a nice change from that.

Categories Lunch/Snacks

Time 15m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

1 (7 ounce) can tuna, drained
2 tablespoons finely chopped red onions
2 tablespoons finely chopped red peppers
2 tablespoons mayonnaise (or more if you wish)
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
2 bagels, halved horizontally
4 slices tomatoes, thick
4 slices swiss cheese (mozzarella works great too)

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350F; have ready an ungreased baking sheet.
In a mixing bowl, combine tuna, onion, pepper, mayo and worcestershire; taste and add salt and/or pepper if you wish.
In the toaster, toast bagel halves; place all 4 on baking sheet.
On a bagel half, place one slice tomato, then one-quarter of tuna mixture, then 1 slice cheese; repeat with other bagel halves.
Bake for 5 minutes, or until cheese melts.
If you wish, quickly broil to brown melted cheese.
Note: if you like tuna melts real cheesy, use one slice of swiss AND one slice of mozzarella!

Tips:

Use day-old bagels. They'll hold up better to toasting and won't get soggy from the tuna salad.
Toast the bagels until they're golden brown. This will give them a nice crunch and help them hold up to the fillings.
Use a good quality tuna salad. Look for one that's made with solid white tuna and mayonnaise, and that has no added fillers or preservatives.
Add your favorite fillings. Some classic options include sliced tomato, cucumber, and onion. You can also add cheese, bacon, or avocado.
Serve the tuna melts immediately. They're best when they're hot and gooey.

Conclusion:

These tuna melts are the perfect comfort food for a quick and easy lunch or dinner. They're packed with flavor and protein, and they're sure to satisfy everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a delicious and satisfying meal, give these seeded bagel tuna melts a try!
