For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a dash of hot sauce or a sprinkle of paprika to the tuna mixture. Use high-quality cheddar cheese for the best melting and flavor. If you don't have English muffins, you can use other types of bread, such as sourdough or rye. For a healthier option, use light mayonnaise or Greek yogurt instead of regular mayonnaise. To prevent the muffins from getting soggy, make sure they are well-toasted before adding the tuna mixture. Don't walk away from the broiler. These can burn quickly!
