Crack'in Good Tuna Mornay image

I found this recipe in the 1991 edition of the Australian Women's Weekly. It has been a family favourite ever since. A very good recipe to fall back on to if you forget to defrost some meat for dinner.

This dish is a great way to use up leftover tuna. I usually make a big batch of tuna salad and then use the leftovers to make this mornay sauce.
