A delightful twist on the classic tuna sandwich, this recipe combines creamy tuna salad with melted cheese on a toasted English muffin.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and a crispy texture.
In a mixing bowl, combine the tuna, chopped hard-boiled eggs, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, diced celery, and green onions. Mix until well combined.
For a smoother texture, mash the tuna with a fork before mixing.
Split the English muffins in half and place them on a baking sheet.
Toasting the muffins slightly before adding the topping can enhance the flavor.
Spoon the tuna mixture evenly onto each muffin half.
Spread the mixture evenly to ensure each bite is flavorful.
Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the tuna mixture.
Use a generous amount of cheese for a gooey topping.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Keep an eye on the cheese to prevent over-browning.
Serve the tuna melts warm, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
Pair with a side salad or soup for a complete meal.
