Whip up a quick and delicious tuna melt bake for a crispy weeknight dinner option!

Ingredients:

75g butter
1 brown onion, finely chopped
500g cauliflower, roughly chopped
2 tsp finely chopped fresh thyme leaves
62.50 ml plain flour
193.13 gm milk
191.25 gm salt reduced chicken style liquid stock
5.90 gm dijon mustard
375.00 ml grated tasty cheese
425g can tuna in olive oil, drained, flaked
250.00 ml frozen peas
60g baby spinach
180g bread
20.00 ml finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves
40.00 ml finely grated parmesan

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to a piping hot 200°C/180°C fan-forced.
In a large saucepan over medium-high heat, melt 50g butter. Add onion and cook for 5 minutes until softened, stirring occasionally. Next, add garlic, cauliflower, and half of the thyme, and cook for 1 minute. Stir in flour and cook for an additional minute. Reduce the heat to medium and gradually pour in the milk and stock. Stir continuously for 5 minutes until the mixture boils and thickens.
Mix in the mustard and 1 cup of delicious cheese until smooth and melted. Take off the heat, then gently fold in the tuna, peas, and spinach. Transfer the mixture into a greased 5cm-deep, 22cm x 23cm baking dish.
Place the rest of the butter in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on HIGH for 10 to 20 seconds until melted. In a large bowl, combine bread with the melted butter, parsley, remaining thyme, and tasty cheese. Toss everything together to coat evenly. Spoon the bread mixture over the tuna in the dish, season with salt and pepper, sprinkle with parmesan, then bake for 25 minutes until golden and bubbly. Serve and enjoy!
