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.

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:

To make the bagel tuna melt even speedier, use pre-cooked tuna. You can either buy canned tuna or cook a tuna steak and flake it yourself.
If you don't have any bagels on hand, you can use English muffins or bread slices instead.
For a healthier version of the bagel tuna melt, use whole-wheat bagels and low-fat cheese.
To make the bagel tuna melt even more flavorful, add a squeeze of lemon juice or a dash of hot sauce.
If you want to make the bagel tuna melt ahead of time, simply assemble the sandwiches and wrap them tightly in plastic wrap. Store them in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. When you're ready to eat, simply heat the sandwiches in the microwave or oven until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Conclusion:

The bagel tuna melt is a quick and easy sandwich that is perfect for a busy weeknight meal. It is packed with protein and healthy fats, and it can be customized to your liking. Whether you like your bagel tuna melt classic or with a few extra toppings, you're sure to enjoy this delicious and satisfying sandwich.
