Tuna Melt

Reminiscent of a simple meal from my childhood, I was low on time (or maybe it was energy), yet wanted a tasty meal at home rather than taking the time to go out. Let’s be honest, Furrow & Fly English muffins are the best there is and I had a spare package in the freezer! To increase the nutritional value, I designed this recipe with more veggies than a typical creamed tuna might have. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do…
