Artichoke Tuna Melt Recipes

CLASSIC TUNA MELTS

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler to high.
• Butter the halved muffins, place them in a single layer on a baking sheet and broil until golden, about 2 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make the tuna salad: In a large bowl, mix together the tuna, artichoke hearts, mayonnaise, olives, mustard, dill, hot sauce, celery, scallions and lemon zest. Season with salt and pepper.
• Top each muffin half with a large scoop of tuna salad, arrange 2 slices of cheese on each and broil until the cheese is melted, about 2 minutes. Remove and top with tomato slices and chives to serve.

GEORGE'S ARTICHOKE TUNA SALAD

Steps:

• Combine all the ingredients and mix well. Taste and adjust seasonings. Use as a sandwich filling with your favorite bread. It makes a great open-faced tuna melt by topping the tuna with cheese and putting it under the broiler for a few minutes. Or mound it on top of cooked slices of eggplant or portobello mushrooms for a breadless treat.
