Ingredients
- 3-4 English muffins (cut in half)
- 2 cans tuna (drained)
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- ½ teaspoon curry powder (more or less to taste)
- ¾ cup cheddar cheese (grated)
Instructions
- Place English muffin halves on a broiler pan. If you like a crispy crust, place under the broiler to toast for a few minutes while you mix the tuna.
- In a medium bowl, combine the drained tuna, mayonnaise, and curry powder. Add ½ cup of the grated cheddar cheese. Mix well until everything is evenly combined.
- Spread the tuna mixture generously over each English muffin half.
- Sprinkle the remaining grated cheddar cheese evenly over the tuna mixture on each muffin.
- Place the loaded English muffins under the broiler until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and golden brown, approximately 3-5 minutes. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
- Carefully remove from the broiler and serve immediately while hot and cheesy.

Notes
- For extra crunch, toast the English muffins slightly longer before adding the tuna mixture. This helps prevent them from becoming soggy.
- If you don't have a broiler, you can bake the tuna melts in an oven at 375°F (190°C) for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. - Make-ahead tip: Prepare the tuna mixture up to 24 hours in advance and store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Assemble and broil just before serving. - For food safety, ensure any prepared tuna mixture is refrigerated promptly and consumed within 3-4 days.
