Tips:

  • Use the freshest tuna possible. This will ensure that your tuna melt is as flavorful as possible.
  • If you don't have any panko breadcrumbs, you can use regular breadcrumbs. Just make sure to toast them in a pan with some butter before using them.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when you're cooking the tuna patties. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
  • Be careful not to overcook the tuna patties. They should be cooked through, but still slightly pink in the center.
  • Use a good quality cheese that melts well. This will help to create a gooey, delicious tuna melt.
  • Serve the tuna melts immediately after they're made. This will ensure that they're at their best.

Conclusion:
