TUNA MELT

    ADVERTISEMENT

    This Tuna Melt is an open-faced sandwich piled with creamy tuna salad, fresh sun-ripened tomatoes, and tasty cheddar cheese. They are popped in the oven long enough to warm everything up and melt the cheese. I love to serve these with homemade French fries, potato chips, green salad, or carrot sticks. 

    HOW DO YOU MAKE A TUNA MELT SANDWICH?

    First, in a medium bowl, flake some albacore canned tuna with a fork. Then stir in the mayo, sour cream, Dijon mustard, celery, red onion, pickle relish, parsley, dill weed, and pepper pepper. Next, toast each slice of bread until golden brown and lightly butter it. Spoon the tuna mixture evenly onto each bread slice. Top with thinly sliced tomatoes and shredded cheddar.

    Now place in the oven for about 10-15 minutes or until the cheese has melted and the sandwich has warmed. These open-faced Tuna Melt sandwiches are best served promptly.
