Tuna Melt Supreme Recipe

Add Step-by-Step Photos	Krumkake / All my dishes 2 years, 1 month ago 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! Prep:15m Cook:10m Servings:2	Krumkake

Ingredients

⅓ cup mayonnaise, or enough to hold tuna together when mixed

1 good squirt of yellow mustard (about a teaspoon)

½ teaspoon Old Bay seafood seasoning

salt and pepper, to taste

just a splash of fresh lemon juice

1 (6 ounce) can albacore tuna in oil, drained well (tuna packed in water will not yield the same flavor)

1 stalk celery, sliced thin

¼ onion, finely diced

½ can water chestnuts, finely diced

2 hard boiled eggs, diced

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

2 English muffins, split in half and toasted

4 tomato slices (optional, but oh so good!)

Directions

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.

Krum, this recipe sounds fishy to me. I'm sorry, I am just in one of those moods today...a little on the silly side.

Sounds yummy, think you could throw some out at me with the baked apples?
