Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

2 medium zucchini (about 7 ounces each)
olive oil flavored cooking spray
2 teaspoons dried basil
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1/8 teaspoon pepper
4 slices multigrain bread, toasted
1 (9 ounce) can solid white tuna packed in water, drained
1/4 cup light mayonnaise
2 tablespoons finely chopped red onions
16 slices plum tomatoes, 1/4-inch-thick
4 slices fat-free American cheese (or any other cheese you like) or 4 slices reduced-fat swiss cheese (or any other cheese you like)

Steps:

Slice zucchini in half crosswise; then slice into 1/4-inch lengthwise slices.
Coat a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray; place over medium-high heat until hot. Add half of the zucchini; cook 5 minutes. Turn slices over, sprinkle with half of the herbs and pepper; cook 5 minutes or until tender. Repeat with remaining zucchini, herbs, and pepper. Divide zucchini slices evenly among toast slices.
Combine tuna, mayonnaise, and onion in a small bowl, stir well. Spread 1/2 cup tuna mixture over each zucchini-topped bread slice; top each with 4 tomato slices and 1 cheese slice.
Place sandwiches on a baking sheet; broil 2 minutes or until cheese melts.

HEALTHY TUNA MELTS

Healthy Tuna Melts image

Quick and easy to make for lunch or dinner! My husband asked me to make him a tuna melt. I'd never eaten one (I don't like tuna except for grilled tuna steaks), let alone made one, so I tried this recipe from The Complete Cooking Light Cookbook. I've made this for him a few times now, and he says they're good! He's not big on English muffins so we normally use whole wheat toast instead.
