How Do I Make Kid Friendly Tuna Melt?

Here is how you make Kid Friendly Tuna Melt:

I used StarKist Light Tuna (in water) 12 oz. can. This recipe will serve 4-5 people (1/2 cup serving size)1. Mix tuna, onion, mayonnaise, pickles and paprika until well combined. (Make sure you drain the tuna)2. Lightly toast the English Muffins and spread with Light butter spread (this is totally optional but I found that it added another layer of flavor that my kids and I enjoyed) then place a spoonful of tuna onto each half of the muffin. Total mixture on both sides should be about 1/2 cup.3. Put a half piece of swiss cheese onto each half and place in 350 oven for about 10 minutes. Cheese should be bubbly.*You can also add tomato to each half, I didn't have any so I didn't add them or you could add spinach for some extra nutrition. Have fun and be creative! :)Number of Servings: 4Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user FIREWIFECARRIE.
