Tuna Cheese Bun topped with QL Mayo

These soft and cottony buns are topped with melted cheddar cheese and healthy tuna mayo filling, making it a favourite choice for kids and the whole family.

For our Tuna Cheese Bun we have used QL Deli Fresh eggs for the great taste and extra health benefits they bring. Both the white and yolk of QL Deli Fresh eggs are rich in nutrients – proteins, vitamins and minerals with the yolk also containing low cholesterol, fat soluble vitamins and essential fatty acids. And don’t forgot that eggs are regarded as a ‘complete’ source of protein as they contain all eight essential amino acids; the ones we cannot synthesise in our bodies and must obtain from our diet.
