Tuna with style! That’s what mom always said when she made these tuna melts on English muffins for her lady friend gatherings.
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.
