Deviled Tuna Crackers
About 15 minutes, estimated · 2 portions · No cook
Original commissary-inspired pantry recipe
Mustard gives this tuna topping the sharpness associated with deviled eggs without boiling an egg for the recipe. Mayonnaise may still contain egg. Mix the fish filling first and add it to the crackers at serving time so their surfaces stay crisp.
