Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Tuna Melt English Muffins.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 450°F (230°C), setting the stage for a delicious meal.
Step 2
While the oven warms up, grab a small frying pan and melt some butter over low heat.
Step 3
Once the butter is gently bubbling, toss in diced onion and minced garlic, letting them sauté together until they become soft and translucent—this should take about 5 to 7 minutes.
Step 4
As the aroma fills your kitchen, stir in seafood seasoning, chopped cilantro, onion powder, sea salt, and a dash of ground black pepper.
Step 5
Once everything is well mixed, take the pan off the heat and let those flavors mingle.
Step 6
In a mixing bowl, combine your drained tuna with a generous dollop of mayonnaise.
Step 7
Add in the sautéed onion and garlic mixture, and using a fork, blend everything together until it’s beautifully combined.
Step 8
Now, it’s time to prepare your English muffins.
Step 9
Place the halved muffins on a cookie sheet, and with a spoon, evenly distribute the tuna mixture onto each half, making sure every bite will be packed with flavor.
Step 10
To elevate your creation, top each muffin with a slice of fresh tomato and a slice of American cheese, adding a delightful creaminess.
Step 11
Now, slide the cookie sheet into your preheated oven and bake for about 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, creating a golden, inviting finish.
Step 12
As you wait, imagine the deliciousness that awaits you—this simple yet satisfying dish is sure to become a favorite! Enjoy your delightful tuna melts!.
