Preheat your oven's broiler on high or set your toaster oven to the 'toast' function.

Place the buttered English muffins cut side up on a baking sheet and toast under the broiler for 1-2 minutes or in a toaster oven until lightly golden. Be careful not to burn them.

Top each tuna-covered English muffin with a slice of cheddar cheese.

Step 7

Return the baking sheet to the oven under the broiler and broil for another 2-3 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
