How to Make Bagel Tuna Melt

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Prepare a baking sheet; no need to grease.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine 1 (5 ounce) can tuna (drained), 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion, 1/4 cup finely chopped green bell pepper, 1/4 cup mayonnaise, and 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce.
  4. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Toast two bagel halves to your desired level of crispness.
  6. Arrange the toasted bagel halves on the prepared baking sheet.
  7. Top each bagel half with one slice of tomato, 1/4 of the tuna salad mixture, and one slice of cheese (cheddar, provolone, or your favorite).
  8. Repeat with remaining bagel halves.
  9. Bake for 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  10. For extra browning, broil for 1-2 minutes, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.
