TUNA MELT SPREAD
I was hungry one day and just
stood at the counter making this up on the fly. I was surprised at how tasty this spread is. Better than low-carb crackers would be using English cucumber slices. Even although the photo doesn't do it justice, this is a delicious, quickie snack for two.
1 can flaked tuna (170 g)
4 oz regular cream cheese
(125 g)
1/2 cup
grated Monterey Jack cheese (125 mL)
1/2 tsp
dried parsley (2 mL)
1/2 cup
grated Monterey Jack cheese (125 mL)
Open
can of tuna and pour off water. Press
tuna with back of spoon to drain further.
In medium bowl, place cream cheese.
Place side plate over top and microwave cream cheese 50 seconds. Stir in tuna, 1/2 cup
(125 mL) grated Monterey Jack cheese and parsley. Place in small 4-inch (10 cm) square
casserole dish. Sprinkle with remaining
cheese and a little extra parsley, if desired. Microwave 35 seconds or until
heated through and cheese has melted on top. Serve with sliced cucumbers or low-carb
crackers for a super treat. It may also
be used on low-carb bread or toast.
