- 1/4 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
Directions
-
- Step 1Preheat 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.
- Step 2Place 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.
- Step 3Place tray back in oven and bake for another 2 to 3 minutes or until edges melt together.
