Tuna Salad Melt on a Scooped-Out Bagel Creamy tuna salad, melted cheese, and a quick run under the broiler makes this famous NY sandwich a full meal. Scooping out the bagel keeps it lighter while still packing in all the flavor. Perfect for lunch or a quick dinner!
15 ounce can of solid white albacore tuna in water,
2-3tablespoonsHellmann's mayonnaise
1diced celery stalk
2slicescheese(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.
