Ingredients

  • ¼ stick butter

  • 1 small onion, finely diced

  • ¼ teaspoon minced garlic

  • ½ teaspoon seafood seasoning (such as Old Bay®)

  • ½ teaspoon chopped fresh cilantro

  • ¼ teaspoon onion powder

  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt

  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

  • 2 (5 ounce) cans albacore tuna packed in water, drained

  • ½ cup mayonnaise

  • 3 English muffins, split

  • 1 large vine-ripened tomato, cut into 6 slices

  • 6 slices American cheese

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).

  2. Melt butter in a small frying pan over low heat. Add onion and garlic and saute over low heat until soft and translucent, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in seafood seasoning, cilantro, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Remove from heat.

  3. Combine tuna and mayonnaise in a bowl. Add the sauteed mixture from the frying pan and blend well with a fork.

  4. Place all 6 halved English muffins on a cookie sheet. Spoon on tuna mixture, dividing it evenly between each muffin. Top each with a slice of tomato; add a slice of American cheese.

  5. Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is melted, about 5 minutes.

Cook's Notes:

If you are not a fan of English muffins, try bagels or any thick-sliced bread such as an Italian or French baguette.

Use your favorite cheese--I like American or provolone.
