More similar, quick and easy lunch ideas I love are Tuna Deviled Eggs and Spicy Crab Stuffed Avocado. These are great recipes for bread-less, gluten free or low carb alternatives.

I often think up recipe ideas that sound good in my head but may not always translate into a blog-worthy recipe. These tuna topped tomatoes are one of those ideas I wasn’t sure how it would turn out. My first attempt I baked the tomatoes, so they were soft and warm but they were pretty messy to eat. Then I thought, why not just broil them. The result came out perfect, the tomatoes were nice and firm and plus this only takes 5 minutes to make! Great for gluten-free and low-carb diets.

Hope you enjoy this recipe!
