SCHOOL LUNCH BAGEL SANDWICH

This sandwich mixes the goodness of bagels with the crunch of dill pickles. I came up with this sandwich for my son who loves bagels and cream cheese but I felt his favorite needed something extra to really make it a lunch. This is kid-tested good, and you can alter the veggies according to what your child likes.

BAGEL TUNA MELT



Bagel Tuna Melt image

This is a favourite with my sister-in-law, although the tomato was my addition. I actually prefer cold tuna salad sandwiches, but this makes a nice change from that.

Provided by Lennie

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 15m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (7 ounce) can tuna, drained
2 tablespoons finely chopped red onions
2 tablespoons finely chopped red peppers
2 tablespoons mayonnaise (or more if you wish)
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
2 bagels, halved horizontally
4 slices tomatoes, thick
4 slices swiss cheese (mozzarella works great too)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350F; have ready an ungreased baking sheet.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine tuna, onion, pepper, mayo and worcestershire; taste and add salt and/or pepper if you wish.
  • In the toaster, toast bagel halves; place all 4 on baking sheet.
  • On a bagel half, place one slice tomato, then one-quarter of tuna mixture, then 1 slice cheese; repeat with other bagel halves.
  • Bake for 5 minutes, or until cheese melts.
  • If you wish, quickly broil to brown melted cheese.
  • Note: if you like tuna melts real cheesy, use one slice of swiss AND one slice of mozzarella!

Tips:

  • Choose the right bagel: Opt for a fresh, high-quality bagel that is slightly chewy and has a good crust. Avoid bagels that are too dense or dry.
  • Use high-quality cream cheese: Look for cream cheese that is made with fresh, natural ingredients and has a smooth, creamy texture. Avoid cream cheese that contains artificial flavors or preservatives.
  • Use canned tuna that is packed in water: This will help to reduce the amount of fat and calories in your sandwich. You can also use fresh tuna that has been cooked and flaked.
  • Add your favorite vegetables: Chopped celery, onions, and tomatoes are classic additions to a tuna salad sandwich. You can also add other vegetables that you enjoy, such as cucumbers, shredded carrots, or bell peppers.
  • Season your tuna salad to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings, such as dill, garlic powder, or paprika, to taste. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a dollop of mayonnaise for extra flavor.

Conclusion:

A bagel with cream cheese and tuna is a classic sandwich that is easy to make and delicious to eat. With a few simple tips, you can make a tuna salad sandwich that is packed with flavor and nutrition. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy lunch or dinner, give this recipe a try!
