Lemon-Lime Tuna Bagel Melt
Uses: tuna pouch, bagel, American cheese, tomato, lemon or lime
Ingredients:
- 1 bagel, split
- 1 tuna pouch
- 1 slice American cheese
- 1/4 cup grape tomatoes, chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon or lime juice
- 1 teaspoon sour cream or cream cheese, optional
Instructions:
- Drain the tuna pouch if needed and place the tuna in a small bowl.
- Add lemon or lime juice, chopped tomatoes, and a spoonful of sour cream or cream cheese if you want it creamier. Season with black pepper or any favorite seasoning.
- Toast the bagel so it can hold the tuna topping.
- Spoon the tuna mixture onto the bagel, top with American cheese, and warm until the cheese melts.
- Let it cool for a moment before eating so the topping settles.
Why it works: The lemon or lime wakes up the tuna, while the melted cheese makes it feel like a cozy diner-style lunch.
Optional: Add spinach after heating for freshness, or mix in a little mustard if available.
