How to cook deliciously - English Muffin Tuna Melts

1. Stage

Make the pickled veggies: Peel and slice the carrot in half down its length and then into thin half-coins. Slice the radishes in half and then slice into half-coins as well. Do the same with the pickle. Stir the vegetables together with 3 tablespoons of pickle juice to coat. Set aside for a few minutes while you make the tuna melt muffins. Taste, and add more pickle juice if needed.

2. Stage

Preheat the oven to 400°F.

3. Stage

Make the tuna mixture: In a medium bowl, stir together minced celery, onion, red pepper, lemon, salt, pepper, and tuna. Fold in the mayo last.

4. Stage

Prep the tuna melts: Spread out English muffin halves on a baking sheet. Add half a slice of Swiss cheese to the bottom of each muffin. Top each muffin with about two tablespoons of tuna salad mix. Top with second half of cheese.

5. Stage

Bake: Bake the tuna melts for 12 to 15 minutes until muffins are browned around the edges and the cheese is melted.

6. Stage

Serve: Serve while warm with pickled veggies on the side (optional). Prepared tuna melts don’t keep well, but the tuna salad mix keeps well for a few days in the fridge, and you can make the muffins on demand.
