GARDEN TUNA MELT



Garden Tuna Melt image

I adopted the recipe from Kraft--tried it, loved it. I usually make the tuna filling ahead of time and heat it up for quick lunch

Provided by Izzy Knight

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 20m

Yield 4 tuna melts, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 (6 ounce) can tuna in water, drained, flaked
1/3 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup chopped onion
1/4 cup chopped green pepper
1/4 cup green onion
1/2 teaspoon dried basil leaves
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano leaves
8 slices bread
4 slices cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Mix tuna, mayo, onion, green pepper and seasonings.
  • Cover each of 4 bread slices with tuna mixture, 1 cheese slice and second bread slice.
  • Spread outsides of sandwiches with additional mayo or softened butter.
  • Cook in skillet on medium heat until lightly browned on both sides.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality tuna. Look for tuna that is packed in water or olive oil, and avoid tuna that is packed in oil, as it will be higher in calories and fat.
  • Choose your bread wisely. A sturdy bread, such as sourdough or whole wheat, will hold up better to the filling than a delicate bread, such as white bread.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different cheeses. Cheddar, Swiss, and provolone are all classic choices, but you can also try using other cheeses, such as gouda, Gruyère, or mozzarella.
  • Add your favorite toppings. Sliced tomatoes, onions, and pickles are all popular choices, but you can also add other toppings, such as bacon, avocado, or sprouts.
  • Cook the sandwiches until the cheese is melted and bubbly. This will ensure that the sandwiches are nice and gooey.

Conclusion:

Tuna melts are a quick and easy meal that can be enjoyed for lunch or dinner. They are also a great way to use up leftover tuna. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a delicious and satisfying sandwich that the whole family will love. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give tuna melts a try!
