Ingredients

• 6 slices White or wheat sandwich bread
• 1 can (5 oz) Tuna (canned, drained)
• 4 tablespoons Mayonnaise
• 1 cup Cheddar cheese (shredded)
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons Green onion (chopped)
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Butter (melted)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a muffin tin with nonstick spray or butter.

Step 2

Using a rolling pin, gently flatten each slice of sandwich bread until it is thin and pliable.

Step 3

Brush one side of each bread slice with melted butter and press the buttered side down into a muffin tin cup, forming a bread cup.

Step 4

Bake the bread cups in the preheated oven for 5 minutes, just until they start to firm up but are not fully toasted. Remove from the oven and set aside.

Step 5

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the drained tuna, mayonnaise, shredded cheddar cheese, Dijon mustard, chopped green onion, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until fully combined.

Step 6

Spoon the tuna mixture evenly into the prebaked bread cups, filling each one generously.

Step 7

Return the filled bread cups to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the filling is hot and bubbly and the edges of the bread cups are golden brown.

Step 8

Let the hot tuna sandwich cups cool for a couple of minutes before carefully removing them from the muffin tin.

Step 9

Serve warm and enjoy!
