Ingredients
  

2 English muffins, split in half

1 can (5 oz) of tuna, drained

1 ripe avocado, mashed

1 tablespoon mayonnaise

1 tablespoon Greek yogurt (optional)

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

1/4 cup diced red onion

1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro (or parsley)

Salt and pepper to taste

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or cheese of choice)

Red pepper flakes (optional, for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

    Prepare Tuna Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the drained tuna, mashed avocado, mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, diced red onion, and chopped cilantro. Mix well until everything is evenly combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

      Toast English Muffins: Place the split English muffins on a baking sheet, cut side up. Bake them in the preheated oven for about 5 minutes, or until they are lightly toasted.

        Assemble Melts: Remove the toasted muffins from the oven. Spread a generous amount of the tuna and avocado mixture on each half of the muffins.

          Add Cheese: Top each muffin half with a portion of shredded cheese as your desired level of cheesiness.

            Broil: Return the assembled muffin melts to the oven and switch the oven to broil. Broil for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, watching closely to prevent burning.

              Serve: Remove from the oven and let cool for a minute. Sprinkle with red pepper flakes for a little extra kick, if desired. Serve warm and enjoy your delicious Mini Tuna Avocado English Muffin Melts!
