Basic Creamed Tuna with Variations

Directions

Creamed Tuna and Eggplant:

Peel a medium sized eggplant and cut in ½ in slices.

Dip in slightly beaten egg, and then in cracker crumbs.

Sauté in hot bacon fat on both sides about 8 minutes.

Serve as a bed for creamed tuna.

Sprinkle with dill, chives or chopped ripe olives.

Hot Tuna Tarts:

Make a simple tart shell and while still warm, fill with creamed tuna, season as you wish.

You can add ¼ cup cooked English peas and ½ cup cooked carrots, finely chopped to creamed tuna before adding to tart shell.

Taste like Tuna pot pie!

Tuna Shortcake:

Cover split, buttered biscuits or crescent with creamed tuna.

I add finely chopped walnuts to this, about ¼ cup.
