Ingredients

Canned tuna chunks in brine 2 can / 180 g
Processed cheese 2 pcs.
Mayonnaise 1 tbsp.
Sriracha 1 tsp.
Rye crackers 6 pcs.
Mozzarella 100 g
Pickled jalapeño pepper to taste

Directions

Step 1
Prepare a bowl and a baking sheet lined with parchment. Open the cans of tuna and drain the liquid. Preheat the oven to 200 °C.
Step 2
Place the canned tuna fillet in a bowl and mash with a fork. Add the processed cheese, mayonnaise, and sriracha. Mix well.
TipTo reduce calories, replace the mayonnaise with Greek yogurt or 10% sour cream.
Step 3
Arrange the crackers on the baking sheet. Spread about 1–1.5 tbsp. of the tuna mixture onto each cracker and level it out.
Step 4
Coarsely grate the mozzarella. Sprinkle the grated mozzarella over each cracker. Place two jalapeño rings on top. Put the baking sheet on the top rack of the preheated oven. Bake for 4–5 minutes at 200 °C, until the mozzarella melts.
Step 5
Transfer the finished crackers to a cutting board and sprinkle with fresh cilantro or green onions.
