HOW TO MAKE A TUNA MELT
This is dedicated to all those chefs who tell you to never, ever mix fish and cheese together; and yet there they are, at the diner at 2:00 in the morning. And you know what they eat? Tuna melts. And the reason they do is because it is delicious.

Steps:
- Place tuna into a mixing bowl and lightly break apart with a fork. Add green onion, celery, capers, chile paste, and mayonnaise. Pinch small pieces from mozzarella cheese into the tuna salad and stir to mix. Season with salt and black pepper; refrigerate tuna salad until needed.
- Heat oven's broiler. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
- Spread butter generously on both sides of French bread slices.
- Broil buttered bread until golden brown on top, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip bread slices and broil other side until toasted, 2 to 3 more minutes. Remove from oven and turn bread slices over on the baking sheet so the darkest sides are on the bottom.
- Gently spread tuna salad onto bread slices using 2 forks. Press the salad onto the bread and spread tuna all the way to the edges of the bread. Spread shredded sharp Cheddar over each sandwich. Dust tops with cayenne pepper.
- Place sandwiches under broiler and cook until cheese is melted and bubbling, 5 to 6 minutes.

While the soup simmers, assemble tasty Mozzarella Tuna Melts. Using a mini food processor to chop the celery and onion for the filling helps shave preparation time. Then just pop the sandwiches in the oven.

OPEN-FACED TUNA MELTS
Steps:
- Preheat the broiler and place the rack about 6" from the roof of the oven.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the drained tuna, shallot, celery, mayo, salt, pepper, lemon juice, and parsley. Stir until fully mixed. Taste for seasoning. It may need a touch more lemon juice to brighten it up, or a pinch more salt.
- Toast the bread. Optional: Lightly butter the toast on both sides, if you feel like gilding the lily.
- Place the toast on a baking sheet. Divide the tuna salad between the two pieces of toast. You may not use all of the tuna, depending on how high you want your melt to be.
- Place slices of cheese on top of the tuna. Broil for about 30 seconds (but this may vary--keep a close eye!), until the cheese melts over the tuna.
- Slice the melts in half on the diagonal and serve immediately, perhaps with a little salad, potato chips, or dill pickles.
SIMPLE TUNA MELT

- Bake for 7 minutes in the preheated oven, or until cheese is melted and tuna is heated through. Place the cheese side of the sandwich on top of the tuna side. Cut in half and serve immediately.

ORIGINAL TUNA MELTS
Long before Tuna Melts, in their many variations, became standard on every menu, my mother discovered this 1950's recipe. We grew up having these kid-friendly rolls on Friday nights when, as Catholics, we were forbidden meat. Served in corn-on-the-cob dishes with a side of french fries and a salad, Mom was out of the kitchen in under 45 minutes and we kids were in hog heaven!
