Ingredients

  • ¼ stick butter
  • 1 small onion, finely diced
  • ¼ teaspoon minced garlic
  • ½ teaspoon seafood seasoning (such as Old Bay®)
  • ½ teaspoon chopped fresh cilantro
  • ¼ teaspoon onion powder
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 2 (5 ounce) cans albacore tuna packed in water, drained
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 3 English muffins, split
  • 1 large vine-ripened tomato, cut into 6 slices
  • 6 slices American cheese

Directions

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).

Step 2
Melt butter in a small frying pan over low heat. Add onion and garlic and saute over low heat until soft and translucent, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in seafood seasoning, cilantro, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Remove from heat.

Step 3
Combine tuna and mayonnaise in a bowl. Add the sauteed mixture from the frying pan and blend well with a fork.

Step 4
Place all 6 halved English muffins on a cookie sheet. Spoon on tuna mixture, dividing it evenly between each muffin. Top each with a slice of tomato; add a slice of American cheese.

Step 5
Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is melted, about 5 minutes.

Cook’s Notes:

If you are not a fan of English muffins, try bagels or any thick-sliced bread such as an Italian or French baguette.
