Ingredients
  

2 English muffins, split in half

1 can (5 oz) tuna in water, drained and flaked

1 ripe avocado, mashed to a smooth consistency

1 tablespoon mayonnaise

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

1/4 cup red onion, finely diced

1/4 cup cherry tomatoes, quartered

1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded

Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it's hot and ready for baking.

    Prepare the Tuna Mixture: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the drained and flaked tuna with the mashed avocado, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Mix everything together until the ingredients are well blended and smooth, creating a creamy base.

      Add the Veggies: Gently fold in the finely diced red onion and quartered cherry tomatoes into the tuna and avocado mixture. This will introduce a delightful crunch and a burst of fresh flavors to your melts.

        Assemble the Melts: Arrange the split English muffin halves cut-side up on a baking sheet. Spoon a generous amount of the tuna mixture onto each muffin half, using the back of the spoon to spread it evenly across the surface.

          Add Cheese: Top each muffin with a generous sprinkle of shredded mozzarella cheese, ensuring each piece is covered to achieve that delightful melty texture.

            Bake: Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and bake for approximately 10-12 minutes. Keep an eye on them, removing the muffins once the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.

              Garnish and Serve: After baking, take them out of the oven and allow to cool for a minute. Garnish each melt with a sprinkle of chopped fresh parsley for a pop of color and added freshness.

                Enjoy: Serve these delicious Mini Tuna Avocado English Muffin Melts warm as a delightful appetizer, snack, or light meal that’s sure to please!
