Deli-Style Tuna Melt on a Scooped-Out Bagel
Creamy tuna salad piled into a scooped-out bagel, topped with cheese, and broiled until hot and bubbly. Serve with pickles, chips, coleslaw, or potato salad for an easy deli-style lunch
Ingredients
- 1 bagel scooped out, any flavor
- 1 5 ounce can of solid white albacore tuna in water
- 2-3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 diced celery stalk
- 2 slices cheese (American, Swiss, or Cheddar)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Set your broiler to high or preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Add the tuna to a medium-sized bowl and use the back of a fork to break it into small, flaky pieces.
- Mix in the mayo, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Slice the bagel in half and scoop out some of the inside with your fingers or a spoon to create space for the filling.
- Spread the tuna salad evenly over both bagel halves.
- Top each half with a slice of cheese.
- Place the bagel halves on a foil-lined baking sheet and broil for about 1 minute, or bake for about 3 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Notes
This recipe makes one tuna bagel melt. It’s a single serving, but it can easily be shared as a snack. If you serve it with a tossed salad, it becomes a meal for two.
