My Take On Tuna Melts
Total Time: 10 mins
Preparation Time: 5 mins
Cook Time: 5 mins
Ingredients
- 3 slices whole wheat bread, toasted
- 2 (6 ounce) cans tuna in water, drained and flaked
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons sweet pickle relish
- 1/8 teaspoon celery salt (optional)
- 1/8 teaspoon onion salt (optional)
- fresh ground black pepper, to taste
- 3 slices cheese
- 1 roma tomato, sliced fairly thick
Recipe
- 1 prepare the tuna salad by combining tuna, mayonnaise, relish, celery salt, onion salt, and black pepper. taste and season again, if necessary.
- 2 meanwhile, toast three slices of bread. (i used mrs. baird's acti-fiber bread and 2 slices of honey wheat bread for dh; really this is a go-with-your-favorite option.) toasting the bread is extremely important! don't skip the step.
- 3 place toast on a cookie sheet. spread tuna salad on each slice.
- 4 top each piece of toast with 2 slices roma tomato. grind fresh black pepper over each slice.
- 5 cover with cheese. dh used american singles, and i used pepper jack. both were great!
- 6 set oven to broil with rack around six inches from the burner. broil the sandwiches until cheese is "melty and bubbly." don't turn your back on the oven--the sandwiches go from melty and bubbly to black and burnt in a snap!
- 7 we served this with barbecue potato chips and yogurt for dessert.
