Got this in my Hungry Girl email newsletter and thought I would share. I haven't had them but they sound so good and I plan to try them this weekend!


Tuna Melt Bites
PER SERVING (1/3rd of recipe, 5 pieces): 143 calories, 5g fat, 452mg sodium, 11g carbs, 0g fiber, 1g sugars, 14g protein -- PointsPlus™ value 4*

We could eat an entire batch of these by ourselves in one sitting -- good thing they're so low in calories!

Ingredients:
One 15-piece box frozen Athens Mini Fillo Shells
3 wedges The Laughing Cow Light Creamy Swiss cheese
One 5-oz. can albacore tuna in water, drained and flaked
Spices: salt, black pepper

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Place shells on a baking sheet sprayed lightly with nonstick spray. Bake in the oven until shells are golden brown, about 5 minutes. Set aside to cool.

Place cheese wedges in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 30 seconds, or until softened. Stir until smooth. Add tuna and a dash each salt and pepper. Mix well.

Evenly distribute the cheesy-tuna mixture among the baked shells, about half a tablespoon per shell.

Now eat!

    I'll try to remember to post my opinion about them if I try them this weekend! I'm not very good about returning to my old posts. :)

    Your calorie count for the shells in not correct. Did you get it from MFP? I just bought a box of them and they are 25 calories per serving, 7.5 servings per box (2 per serving). This brings it back down to about 155 per serving! :)

    Hey I just saw your correction. I got them from CalorieKing.com.

    Thanks for the correction! :flowerforyou: I'll be sure to add these to my recipe book. :D

    Now I'm going to have to make a trip to the store. I haven't eaten tuna since I started MFP because I like it with mayo, but this sounds like it would be really good.

    I did try these and they were pretty good! I think they would be cute with a little piece of cucumber or tomato on top so they have some color. We had some friends over that night and I whipped them up. They were all gone! Really cute and very easy to make. Just don't eat the extra 3 circles of cheese when you're making them (like I did). lol.
