OPEN FACE TUNA MELT SANDWICH

Open Face Tuna Melt Sandwich image

These have become a quick dinner staple. They are sooo good, and comes together in minutes. You can change the type of cheese, but I've found that something with a stronger flavor that melts well, is best. The type of bread I use is called Saloio and is similar to Ciabbata (Saloio is a portuguese bread readily available at our supermarket bakery).

Time 15m

Yield 8 slices

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

8 slices saloio bread, cut about 3/4 inch thick and toasted lightly
3 (6 ounce) cans tuna in water (drained well)
1/2 cup mayonnaise (can use light, adjust amount as needed)
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon Old Bay Seasoning
salt and pepper
2 tomatoes, sliced
8 slices piquante provolone cheese (or swiss)

Steps:

Mix the tuna, mayo, onion, lemon juice, old bay seasoning, salt and pepper. Mix well.
Place enough tuna on a toasted slice of bread and spread to cover slice.
Top with slice of tomato (or 2 if the tomato slice is small) and then top with a slice of cheese. Place sandwich slices on a cookie sheet.
Placing rack not too close to the broiler (about the second one down), broil sandwiches until the cheese is golden brown.

Tips:

Use high-quality tuna for the best flavor. Look for tuna that is packed in water or olive oil, and avoid tuna that is packed in oil.
If you don't have Old Bay seasoning, you can make your own by combining celery salt, paprika, garlic powder, and black pepper.
Feel free to add other ingredients to your tuna spread, such as chopped celery, onion, or pickles. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a dollop of mayonnaise for extra flavor.
Serve your tuna spread on crackers, bread, or veggies. You can also use it as a sandwich spread or as a dip for chips.

Conclusion:

Old Bay tuna spread is a delicious and versatile dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy snack or appetizer, give Old Bay tuna spread a try.
