Ingredients
  

2 English muffins, split in half

1 can (5 oz) of tuna, drained

1 ripe avocado, thoroughly mashed

1 tablespoon mayonnaise

1 tablespoon Greek yogurt (optional for creaminess)

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

1/4 cup finely diced red onion

1/4 cup freshly chopped cilantro (or parsley)

Salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese)

Red pepper flakes (optional, for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C).

    Prepare Tuna Mixture: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the drained tuna, mashed avocado, mayonnaise, Greek yogurt (if using), Dijon mustard, lemon juice, diced red onion, and chopped cilantro. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is well combined and creamy. Taste and season with salt and freshly cracked black pepper to your liking.

      Toast English Muffins: Arrange the split English muffins on a baking sheet with the cut sides facing up. Place them in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 5 minutes, or until they are lightly golden and toasted.

        Assemble Melts: Carefully remove the toasted muffins from the oven and spread a generous helping of the tuna and avocado mixture on each half. Ensure an even coverage for optimal flavor in every bite.

          Add Cheese: Sprinkle your desired amount of shredded cheese over the top of each muffin half, adjusting depending on how cheesy you like it.

            Broil: Return the assembled muffin melts to the oven, this time switching the oven setting to broil. Watch closely as they broil for 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbling, taking care to avoid any burning.

              Serve: Once done, remove the muffin melts from the oven and let them cool for a minute. For an extra kick, sprinkle some red pepper flakes on top if you’d like. Serve warm and indulge in your delightful Mini Tuna Avocado English Muffin Melts!
