Ingredients:
1 (170 g) cans of flaked tuna in water
3 tablespoons mayonnaise
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1 slice tomatoes
1/2 cup medium white mushrooms ( chopped or sliced)
1/4 cup grated cheddar cheese
2 tablespoons olive oil or 2 tablespoons canola oil or 2 tablespoons butter, to saute with
walnuts (optional)
almonds (optional)
pecans (optional)
herbs (optional)
bacon (optional)
chicken (optional)
Directions:
Mix the can of tuna with mayonnaise, salt and pepper and any other herbs or seasonings you`d like to add, walnuts taste good in it too- Be creative and have fun with it.
Put tuna mixture aside.
Cut a slice of your tomato and set aside.
Over medium- low heat, saute the sliced mushrooms in olive oil until slightly crisp- I sometimes add left over chicken or a slice or 2 of bacon to the saute for variety.
Once the mushrooms are sauteed arrange them into a tidy little circle and place the tuna and mayo mixture very carefully onto the center of the mushroom platform- If you haven`t realized by now– the mushrooms replace your bread.
Then place the tomato slice on top of the tuna and mayo, top it all off with cheese, reduce heat slightly, and cover for 1 minute or until the cheese is melted.
Carefully, with the aid of a flexible spatula, slide the tuna melt onto your plate- or a leaf of lettuce on your plate and enjoy.
Only 3 and a half carbs for the whole meal– and it`s filling.
You can use other types of cheese and mushrooms or even more tomato, but take the carbs into account- some cheeses are higher than others and the same for veggies too.
