How do you make a Keto Tuna Melt?
To make these tasty Cheesy Keto Tuna Melts, you spread out the mozzarella slices onto 2 parchment paper(Not Wax Paper) lined baking sheets. Then in a bowl, mix the drained cans of tuna with the mayonnaise and minced celery. Stir until very well combined.
Bake the cheese slices, until fully melted, approx. 4-5 mins. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before adding a few spoonfuls of tuna to the corner of each of the cheese shells. Then fold the squares in half, making triangle shapes. Firmly press the sides closed.Return to the oven for another 5 – 10 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
WHAT IS THE KETOGENIC DIET?
The ketogenic diet (often called keto) is a very low-carb, high-fat diet that shares similarities to paleo, Whole30, and Atkins. It involves drastically reducing carbohydrate intake, and replacing it with fat. When in ketosis, your body switches to burning fat for its primary fuel source.
On Keto, you’re supposed to get at least 70 percent of your calories from Fat, 15 to 25 percent from Protein, and 10 percent from Carbohydrates. You should avoid all grains, legumes, root vegetables, fruit, (except berries) and sugar.

Recipe Tips:
– Using pre sliced Mozzarella Deli Slices makes this recipe a breeze.
– I turned my oven to broil for the last minute of baking, just to brown the tops a bit more. Watch very closely if you do this step.
– Small square piles of grated mozzarella cheese will work instead of the slices if needed.
– Use 2 170 g cans of tuna.
