Ingredients

Scale
  • olive oil cooking spray
  • 6 slices sandwich bread (white or wheat)
  • 1/2 tablespoon butter
  • 2 cups frozen vegetable blend (peas, carrots, green beans and corn)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt or to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper or taste
  • 1 (5 ounce) pack or can of albacore tuna in water, drained.
  • 1/2 cup hummus

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375° F.
  2. Lightly spray 6 standard-size muffin cups.
  3. Flatten each bread slice with your hand. Carefully insert flattened bread slices into muffin cups so they fit snuggly. Crusts should stick out.
  4. Evenly spray a coat of olive oil over bread slices.
  5. Bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from heat and let cool.
  6. While the bread cups are in the oven, heat butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add frozen vegetables and cook, stirring frequently for 5-7 minutes. Do not over cook. Remove from heat and let cool.
  7. In a large bowl, combine vegetables, salt, pepper, tuna and hummus. Fold in ingredients with a spatula, making sure all ingredients are evenly distributed.
  8. Spoon in 2-3 tablespoons of tuna mixture into bread cups. Pack in a lunch box or in a deep container with lid.
