Recipe

• 2 put tuna mixture aside.
• 3 cut a slice of your tomato and set aside.
• 4 over medium- low heat, sauté the sliced mushrooms in olive oil until slightly crisp- i sometimes add left over chicken or a slice or 2 of bacon to the sauté for variety.
• 5 once the mushrooms are sautéed 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.
• 6 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.
• 7 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.
• 8 only 3 and a half carbs for the whole meal-- and it`s filling.
• 9 you can use other types of cheese and mushrooms or even more tomato, but take the carbs into account- some cheeses are higher than others and the same for veggies too.
