14 ingredients
9 steps

Ingredients

  • 1 (170 g) can of flaked tuna in water
  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 slice tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup medium white mushroom (chopped or sliced)
  • 1/4 cup grated cheddar cheese
  • 2 2 tablespoons canola oil or 2 tablespoons butter, to saute with
  • walnuts (optional)
  • almonds (optional)
  • pecans (optional)
  • herbs (optional)
  • bacon (optional)
  • chicken (optional)

Directions

  1. 1
    Mix the can of tuna with mayonnaise, salt and pepper and any other herbs or seasonings you`d like to add, walnuts taste good in it too- Be creative and have fun with it.
  2. 2
    Put tuna mixture aside.
  3. 3
    Cut a slice of your tomato and set aside.
  4. 4
    Over medium- low heat, saute the sliced mushrooms in olive oil until slightly crisp- I sometimes add left over chicken or a slice or 2 of bacon to the saute for variety.
  5. 5
    Once the mushrooms are sauteed arrange them into a tidy little circle and place the tuna and mayo mixture very carefully onto the center of the mushroom platform- If you haven`t realized by now-- the mushrooms replace your bread.
  6. 6
    Then place the tomato slice on top of the tuna and mayo, top it all off with cheese, reduce heat slightly, and cover for 1 minute or until the cheese is melted.
  7. 7
    Carefully, with the aid of a flexible spatula, slide the tuna melt onto your plate- or a leaf of lettuce on your plate and enjoy.
  8. 8
    Only 3 and a half carbs for the whole meal-- and it`s filling.
  9. 9
    You can use other types of cheese and mushrooms or even more tomato, but take the carbs into account- some cheeses are higher than others and the same for veggies too.
