Description
A low-carb tuna melt made using a crispy cheese waffle (chaffle) instead of bread, filled with a creamy tuna mixture and melted cheese for a quick, savory, and satisfying meal.
Ingredients
- 1 can (5 oz) tuna, drained
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp celery, finely chopped
- 1 tbsp red onion, finely chopped
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese
- 2 slices cheddar cheese (for melt)
Instructions
- Preheat a waffle maker.
- In a bowl, mix egg and shredded cheese to form the chaffle batter.
- Pour half the batter into the waffle maker and cook for 3–4 minutes until golden. Repeat for second chaffle.
- In another bowl, combine tuna, mayonnaise, mustard, celery, onion, salt, and pepper.
- Place one chaffle on a baking sheet, spread tuna mixture on top, and add cheddar slices.
- Top with the second chaffle.
- Broil for 2–3 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve warm.
Notes
- Use any cheese you prefer for the chaffle base.
- Adjust mayo and mustard to taste.
- Add pickles or herbs for extra flavor.
- Best served immediately for crisp texture.
- Great low-carb alternative to traditional tuna melts.
