Time 10m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cans tuna, oil packed, drained
3 tablespoons mayonnaise
2 stalks celery, finely chopped
1 tablespoon sweet pickle relish
½ teaspoon kosher salt

MY TAKE ON TUNA MELTS



My Take on Tuna Melts image

This is sort of a combination of some of the recipes that I've seen on 'Zaar. I adapted it to what I had on hand. DH was pretty skeptical, but he warned to the idea after first taste.

Provided by JanieTeachGal

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 10m

Yield 3 open-face sandwiches, 2-3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

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

Steps:

  • Prepare the tuna salad by combining tuna, mayonnaise, relish, celery salt, onion salt, and black pepper. Taste and season again, if necessary.
  • 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.
  • Place toast on a cookie sheet. Spread tuna salad on each slice.
  • Top each piece of toast with 2 slices roma tomato. Grind fresh black pepper over each slice.
  • Cover with cheese. DH used American singles, and I used Pepper Jack. Both were great!
  • 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!
  • We served this with barbecue potato chips and yogurt for dessert.
