Using canned albacore tuna makes all the difference in this recipe - I don't advise substituting. We like our melts hot, so I bake the "scoops" on a baking sheet to be sure we end up with a hot melt. Enjoy!
Ingredients
- ⅓ cup mayonnaise, or enough to hold tuna together when mixed shopping list
- 1 good squirt of yellow mustard (about a teaspoon) shopping list
- ½ teaspoon Old Bay seafood seasoning shopping list
- salt and pepper, to taste shopping list
- just a splash of fresh lemon juice shopping list
- 1 (6 ounce) can albacore tuna in oil, drained well (tuna packed in water will not yield the same flavor) shopping list
- 1 stalk celery, sliced thin shopping list
- ¼ onion, finely diced shopping list
- ½ can water chestnuts, finely diced shopping list
- 2 hard boiled eggs, diced shopping list
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese shopping list
- 2 English muffins, split in half and toasted shopping list
- 4 tomato slices (optional, but oh so good!) shopping list
How to make it
- Combine mayo, mustard, seasonings and lemon juice.
- Add tuna, celery, onion, water chestnuts, eggs and ½ cup of the grated cheese; blend well.
- Spray a small baking sheet liberally with cooking spray and heap tuna into 4 patties on the pan (patties will spread some while baking).
- Bake at 375 degrees about 10 minutes (until warmed through).
- Turn oven to broil; broil until tops of patties just begin to lightly brown.
- Top each patty with remaining grated cheese and broil 2 minutes more, or until cheese is melted and bubbly.
- While broiling the patties, toast the English muffins and put 2 toasted halves on each of 2 plates.
- Top each muffin half with a tomato slice.
- With a large, wide spatula, scoop up a tuna patty from the baking sheet; place it on top of the tomato.
- Serve immediately.
