Tuna Melt Patties

- ¼ cup green onions with tops, sliced
- ¼ cup bread crumbs
- 2 Tbs. Light Miracle Whip
- 2 Tbs. sweet pickle relish, drained
- 1 egg white
- 1 tsp. prepared mustard
- 4 English Muffins, split
- 4 slices (3/4 oz. each) American Cheese
- 4 lettuce leaves
- 1 tomato, sliced

- Mix well; add bread crumbs and mix well again.
- Divide into fourths and form each into round patties.
- Lightly spray a non-stick pan or grill pan; Cook patties 3 minutes on each side, turning carefully to prevent splitting patties apart.
- Top each with a slice of American cheese and allow to melt.
- Toast English Muffins and top with tuna melt Patties, lettuce and tomato.

Recipe Notes:
- Instead of serving tuna melts on an English muffin, substitute a sturdy rye or whole wheat bread. It is great on my Steakhouse Brown Bread as well.
- Change up the cheese. Try Swiss, Havarti, provolone, muenster, or cheddar cheese.
- Replace chopped water chestnuts for the celery. You can add a chopped hard boiled egg to the tuna salad
- Solid tuna canned in water is used in this recipe to reduce calories. You can, instead, use tuna in extra virgin olive oil. Using olive oil intensifies the tuna’s flavor.
