Ingredients
- 2 cans (5 oz each) canned tuna (in water)
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
- 2 stalks green onions (finely chopped)
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon black pepper (freshly ground)
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 4 slices sliced bread (preferably sourdough or whole grain)
- 1 cup cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (softened)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Drain the canned tuna and transfer it to a mixing bowl. Use a fork to break it into smaller flakes.
Step 3
Add the mayonnaise, dijon mustard, chopped green onions, lemon juice, black pepper, and salt to the tuna. Mix until well combined.
Step 4
Lightly butter one side of each slice of bread and place them butter-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 5
Spoon an even amount of the tuna mixture onto each slice of bread, spreading it out evenly but leaving a small border around the edges.
Step 6
Top each slice with an equal amount of shredded cheddar cheese, ensuring it’s evenly distributed.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 6-8 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the edges of the bread are golden brown.
Step 8
Remove from the oven and allow the toasts to cool for a minute or two before serving. Optionally, garnish with additional green onions.
Step 9
Serve warm and enjoy your Tuna and Cheddar Toasts!
