Bacon Tuna Melts
Preparation Time: 10 minutes
Microwave Time: 3 to 4 minutes
1 can tuna fish, packed in water
4 slices crispy bacon
1 teaspoon honey mustard
1/2 teaspoon mayonaise
1 tablespoon dill pickles, chopped into small bits
1 tablespoon yellow onion, chopped into small bits
1 teaspoon paprika
4 slices whole wheat or multi-grain bread, toasted
1 tomato, sliced
2 slices cheddar cheese
1/2 cup arugula
Prepare crispy bacon in the microwave, as directed here (about 2 1/2 to 3 minutes). To prepare all of the sandwich items, open the tuna and drain the excess water from the fish; wash and slice the tomato, wash the arugula, and chop the pickles and onions.
In a mixing bowl, combine the tuna fish, mustard, mayonaise, pickles, onion, and paprika until fully mixed. Toast all 4 slices of bread. Place two slices of the toasted bread down as the bottom part of each sandwich and top with each slice with 2 strips of bacon, and tuna salad. Then add the arugula, 1 slice of tomato and one slice of cheese on each. Microwave for 30 seconds to 1 minute, until cheese is fully melted. Then top each sandwich with the other slice of toasted bread. Enjoy!
