Creamed Tuna in Toast Cups

Now that I'm back to work, I've become obsessed with easy to prepare, quick dinners that take little effort on a busy weeknight - so you can expect lots of that sort of thing over the next few weeks (you know, until I get onto some other obsession ;)

In the spirit of this, I'm going to share a recipe from my childhood that I have tweaked slightly for "Creamed Tuna in Toast Cups."

Printable recipe here: Creamed Tuna in Toast Cups
Ingredients

1/2 cup water
1/2 cup frozen peas

1 can Cream of Mushroom Soup (I use 1/2 fat)
1/4 cup Chive and Onion cream cheese (I use light)
1/4 tsp each salt and pepper
1 tin tuna, drained
2 chopped hard boiled eggs
12 slices of your favorite bread
3 slices process cheese

Bring the water to boil and add the peas. Let boil a minute and turn down to medium low. Add the soup, cream cheese, salt and pepper and stir until smooth. Add the tuna and the eggs and stir. Remove from heat and set aside.

Preheat the oven to 375. Spray a 12 cup muffin tin with cooking spray. Cut the crusts off the bread and using a rolling pin, roll them flat. Place a slice of bread into each muffin cup. Bake for 15-20 minutes until toasted and crispy.

Cut the cheese slices into quarters. Fill each cup with app. 1/3 cup of the tuna mixture. Top each with a cheese slice and put under the broiler just until the cheese is melted.

Serve with a tossed green salad and enjoy!
