    Here's a slightly larger recipe:

    TUNA OR SALMON MUFFINS

    3 eggs
    1 stalk celery, chopped fine

    ___________________________________________________________

    1/4 cup mayonnaise
    2 tablespoons dill pickle relish
    1/8 teaspoon celery seed

    Mix all but the dill in a small bowl. Spoon about 1 tablespoon sauce over each Tuna Muffin.

    CHIPOTLE MAYO

    1/4 cup mayonnaise
    1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
    1 teaspoon chipotle chile powder
    Dash pepper

    Mix all ingredients and chill. Makes about 1/4 cup

    I made grilled hamburgers topped with sauteed caramelized onions, then melted some havarti cheese over them. This mayo was great served on top.

    Recipe



    Mix all ingredients and spoon into 6 well-greased muffin cups. Bake at 350º for 30 minutes until puffed, set and lightly browned around the edges.

    Makes 6 servings

    I serve these with Tartar Sauce or Chipotle Mayo. They are also really good topped with sauteed peppers, onions and mushrooms, then a bit of the Chipotle Mayo.

    Directions for slightly larger recipe:

    Mix all ingredients and spoon into 12 well-greased muffin cups. Bake at 350º for 30 minutes until puffed, set and lightly browned around the edges.

    Makes 12 servings

    * Deb's notes: I make the larger recipe. It was just a little bit dry, next time I'll add a bit of mayonnaise, perhaps 2 tablespoons (instead of another egg). I omitted the green pepper (we don't care for it). When I made the tartar sauce, I doubled it and added a bit of Splenda. I use canned albacore tuna.
