Ingredients

Scale

Base

  • 4 English muffins, sliced in half

Tuna Mixture

  • 12 oz canned tuna (solid white albacore, packed in water, drained)
  • 1 rib celery, finely diced
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced (reserve some dark green parts for garnish)
  • 1 tbsp sweet relish
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Topping

  • 8 slices provolone cheese (or other melty cheese)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for toasting the muffin stacks evenly.
  2. Prepare Tuna Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the drained tuna, finely diced celery, thinly sliced green onions, sweet relish, mayonnaise, and season with salt and pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
  3. Arrange Muffins: Place the English muffin halves cut side up on a baking sheet, ready to be topped.
  4. Assemble Tuna Stacks: Spoon the tuna mixture evenly onto each muffin half, spreading it out to cover the surface.
  5. Add Cheese: Place one slice of provolone cheese on top of each tuna-covered muffin half for a melty, savory finish.
  6. Bake: Bake the assembled muffin stacks in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the cheese has melted completely and is bubbling.
  7. Garnish and Serve: Remove from oven, garnish each stack with the reserved dark green parts of the sliced green onions for added color and flavor, and serve warm.

Notes

  • Use solid white albacore tuna packed in water for best flavor and texture.
  • Feel free to substitute provolone with other melty cheeses like cheddar, Swiss, or mozzarella.
  • Make sure to finely dice the celery for a pleasant crunch without overpowering the tuna.
  • The recipe can be doubled easily to serve more people.
  • To make it lower fat, substitute mayonnaise with a light or Greek yogurt alternative.
