Tuna melts were one of my favorite lunches to eat on weekends when growing up.  My mom would often make them on Sundays for a yummy and easy meal to enjoy after church. These melts have a whole wheat bagel as the base with tuna salad on top.  And what a tasty tuna salad it is!  It’s made with White Albacore Tuna (not that cat food like chunk light kind), fresh crisp onion and celery, and a few spices and herbs.  It’s then topped with lots of cheese that melts down into the tuna.  So good!

If you have little kids that won’t eat this large of a portion you can use English muffins instead of bagels.  And if you want to cut down on carbs you can get bagel thins.

    I LOVE tuna melts! They’re surprisingly versatile and work well with a variety of mix-ins–dill pickle, sun-dried tomatoes, balsamic vinegar, and tarragon are some of my favorites (and yes, all together!). I’ve never used colby jack as the cheese, though. Can’t wait to try it!

    I love tuna melts and I too grew up eating them and still do. Only I love how you used a bagel, I use hamburger buns. Bagel tuna melts sound waaaaay better!!
