Healthy Open-Faced Tuna Bagel

Chef #315738's Note:

With about 250-275 calories, this no-mayo, open-faced sandwich is a lighter alternative to the traditional tuna melt. This is a great sandwich for kids and adults alike because you can barely taste the tuna - it's more like you're eating chicken! Hope you like it.
