Ingredients

• 2 Bagels, halved & toasted
• 2 x 6.5oz/185g cans of Tuna, drained
• 2 medium-sized Tomatoes, sliced into circles (8 slices total)
• 1 Avocado, sliced into strips (16 strips total)
• 4 tbsp Mayonnaise (or to preference)
• 1 tsp Dijon Mustard
• 1 Spring/Green Onion, finely diced
• 1 tbsp Fresh Parsley, finely diced
• 1/4 tsp Garlic Powder
• 1/8 tsp Cayenne Pepper (optional)
• 4 pinches Cheddar Cheese, grated
• 1 Lemon, juice only (to taste)
• Salt & Black Pepper, to taste
• Drizzle of Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Directions

1. Prepare the Tuna Mixture:

• In a bowl, combine the drained tuna, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, finely diced spring onion, fresh parsley, garlic powder, cayenne pepper (if using), and a squeeze of lemon juice. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Mix everything together until well combined and set aside.

2. Assemble the Bagels:

• Start by placing 4 slices of avocado on each toasted bagel half. Next, arrange 4 slices of tomato on top of the avocado in a circular pattern. Season the avocado and tomato layers with a sprinkle of salt and black pepper, then drizzle with a bit of extra virgin olive oil.

3. Add the Tuna and Cheese:

• Spoon the tuna mixture on top of the avocado and tomato layers. Make sure the tuna is evenly distributed across the bagel halves. Finish by sprinkling a pinch of grated cheddar cheese over the tuna.

4. Broil the Bagels:

• Place the assembled bagels under the grill and broil until the cheese is golden and bubbly. This should take about 3-5 minutes, but keep a close eye to avoid burning.

5. Serve:

• Once the cheese is melted and bubbly, remove the bagels from the oven. Serve immediately with an extra squeeze of lemon juice and a sprinkle of fresh parsley for a burst of freshness.
