M I

1	Bagel
100 g	Springwater tinned tuna drained
1	Red onion small
4 tbsp	Sweetcorn
1 tbsp	Buffalo hot sauce
2 tbsp	Reduced fat mayo
To taste	Ground pepper
25 g	Light mozzarella grated cheese

Step 1

Preheat your grill or airfryer to 180°C.

Step 2

n a bowl, flake the drained tuna and mix with the jalapeños, diced red onion, sweetcorn, buffalo hot sauce, reduced-fat mayonnaise and ground black pepper until well combined.

Step 3

Slice the bagel in half and spoon the tuna mixture evenly over both bagel halves.

Step 4

Sprinkle the grated light mozzarella evenly over the tuna.

Step 5

Place under the grill or into the airfryer and cook for 5–8 minutes until the cheese has melted and the topping is hot through and lightly golden.

Step 6

Remove and serve immediately while warm.

Recipe Notes

Light mozzarella adds a gentle creaminess without overpowering the tuna. You can swap for reduced-fat cheddar if preferred, but mozzarella melts particularly well here.

Cooking Tips

Toast the bagel lightly before topping to keep it crisp underneath. Spread the cheese evenly so it melts without clumping.

Storage Instructions

Best enjoyed immediately. The tuna mixture can be prepared up to 24 hours ahead and stored in the fridge, but assemble and cook the bagel fresh for the best texture.
