Ingredients
  

2 English muffins, split in half

1 can (5 oz) tuna in water, drained and flaked

1 ripe avocado, mashed until smooth

1/4 cup Greek yogurt (or substitute with mayonnaise)

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro (or parsley for an alternative flavor)

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and black pepper to taste

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Optional toppings: sliced tomatoes, thinly sliced red onion, or pickles

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for baking the melts.

    Prepare the Tuna Mixture: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the flaked tuna, smooth avocado, Greek yogurt (or mayo), Dijon mustard, lemon juice, chopped cilantro, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix thoroughly until the mixture is creamy and well blended.

      Toast the English Muffins: Place the split English muffins cut side up on a baking sheet. Lightly toast them in the preheated oven for approximately 5 minutes, until they start to turn golden brown.

        Assemble the Melts: Remove the toasted muffins from the oven. Generously spoon the creamy tuna and avocado mixture onto each muffin half, spreading it evenly to cover the surface.

          Add Cheese: Sprinkle a generous portion of shredded mozzarella cheese over the tuna mixture on each muffin half, ensuring even coverage for optimal melting.

            Bake the Melts: Return the assembled English muffins to the oven and bake them for an additional 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted, bubbly, and has a light golden color.

              Add Optional Toppings: Once baked, remove the muffins from the oven and consider adding optional toppings such as sliced tomatoes, thin slices of red onion, or crisp pickles to enhance flavor and presentation.

                Serve and Enjoy: Allow the Mini Tuna Avocado English Muffin Melts to cool for about a minute before serving. Enjoy them warm as a delicious snack or a quick and satisfying meal!
