Tuna Melts

Ingredients

• 2 (5oz. each) cans of tuna, drained
• ¼ cups finely chopped red onion
• ¼ cups finely chopped red bell pepper
• 2 whole hard boiled eggs, chopped
• 6 whole sweet gherkins, sliced
• ⅓ cups mayonnaise
• 2 Tbsp. Dijon mustard
• Splash of pickle juice
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 6 whole English muffins split
• 12 slices cheese (Swiss, Provolone, Muenster)

Directions
Combine tuna with onion, bell pepper, eggs, and gherkins. Stir in mayonnaise, Dijon, and pickle juice. Add salt and pepper. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed; be sure not to under salt.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Place English muffin halves on a large cookie sheet. Place a large spoonful of tuna salad on each of the twelve English muffin halves. Use the spoon to spread/flatten.

Put pan into the oven for five minutes, then briefly remove and lay a slice of cheese on each muffin. Return to oven and turn on broiler. Watch carefully to avoid burning; bake until cheese is melted and bubbly.
