c.
Keto-friendly mayonnaise
1
tbsp.
dijon mustard
1
tbsp.
lemon juice
1
(6-oz.) can tuna
1
rib celery, finely chopped
2
tbsp.
finely chopped red onion
1
tbsp.
freshly chopped parsley
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
Pinch crushed red pepper flakes
12
slices cheddar
- Preheat oven to 350° and line a large baking sheet with parchment. In a medium bowl, combine mayonnaise, mustard, and lemon juice. Add tuna, celery, red onion, and parsley. Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes.
- Place slices of cheddar on prepared baking sheet and and bake until just melty, 5 minutes. Remove from oven and place a spoonful of tuna mixture on a bottom corner, then using a spatula, fold cheese over tuna into a triangle shape. Letting the cheese sit for a minute or two before folding helps the cheese peel away from the parchment easily.
- Place tray back in oven and bake for another 2 to 3 minutes or until edges melt together.
