Low Carb Tuna Melt

I got this recipe from my aunt who found it i believe on lowcarbfriends.com. She had started atkins and has lost 93 pounds so far...well, i just started atkins and found this recipe to be one of my favorite quick meals.... And i didn't like tuna that much before!!

Steps

Mix the can of tuna with mayonnaise , salt and pepper and any other herbs or seasonings you`d like to add , walnuts taste good in it too- be creative and have fun with it.

Put tuna mixture aside.

Cut a slice of your tomato and set aside.

Over medium- low heat , saut the sliced mushrooms in olive oil until slightly crisp- i sometimes add left over chicken or a slice or 2 of bacon to the saut for variety.

Once the mushrooms are sauted arrange them into a tidy little circle and place the tuna and mayo mixture very carefully onto the center of the mushroom platform- if you haven`t realized by now-- the mushrooms replace your bread.

Then place the tomato slice on top of the tuna and mayo , top it all off with cheese , reduce heat slightly , and cover for 1 minute or until the cheese is melted.

Carefully , with the aid of a flexible spatula , slide the tuna melt onto your plate- or a leaf of lettuce on your plate and enjoy.

Only 3 and a half carbs for the whole meal-- and it`s filli.
