- 2 to 4 tablespoons green onion(thinly sliced)
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise

- 8 slices Cheddar cheese (or Monterey Jack, or American)
- 2 tablespoons green onion (sliced)

Steps to Make It
-
Heat oven to 350 F.

In a medium bowl, combine tuna with celery, 2 to 4 tablespoons green onion, and mayonnaise; blend all ingredients well. Stir in salt and pepper to taste.

Spoon tuna mixture evenly over the muffins. Top each sandwich with a thin slice of tomato. Bake for 8 minutes; top with cheese slices then bake for about 2 minutes longer, or until cheese is melted. Sprinkle each sandwich with green onion and a freshly ground black or seasoned pepper.
Glass Bakeware Warning
Do not use glass bakeware when broiling or when a recipe calls to add liquid to a hot pan, as glass may explode. Even if it states oven-safe or heat resistant, tempered glass products can, and do, break occasionally.
Serves 4 to 8, depending on appetite and whether they are served at lunch or dinner.
