If you want a warm meal on the go, this tuna melt is perfect for you. Most tuna melts are high in saturated fats and carbs.
However, this one is moderate in carbs and packs the protein punch of a can of tuna to support the lean muscle-building goals. It is small in size, so it cooks perfectly in a toaster oven.
The tuna melt is ready in just 8 minutes! Perfect when you are out of time.
Ingredients
- 1 can Tuna fish (canned in water)
- 2 tablespoon Tomato sauce
- 56 g Mozzarella cheese (Fat-free, about 2 oz.)
- 1 tablespoon Oregano (leaves are better than powder)
- 1 muffin English muffin
Instructions
- Slice the English muffin and smear with the tomato sauce, one tablespoon on each half.
- Top with the tuna, sprinkle on some oregano and put one slice of cheese on either side.
- Put the mini–melts in the toaster oven and broil for 2 to 3 minutes or until the cheese is just melted.
Notes
If you like to eat fish in the morning, it’s perfect for a fast breakfast.
