Excellent except the English Muffin could have been crispier. Next time Try toast setting 7 + 1.

Much better with the sandwich sized English Muffin. Still a lot of calories so next time I’ll try the smallest can of tuna fish I can find and reduce the mayonnaise.

The original recipe made two sandwiches, but I halved the ingredients for one. Clearly, there is more tuna salad than could fit in one muffin. Much more leaked out. Next time I’ll use a sandwich sized English Muffin. Light mayonnaise helped cut down on the calories to a reasonable total.
