BEST TUNA MELT (NEW JERSEY DINER STYLE)
If you order a tuna melt in a New Jersey diner, you'll get something very similar to this! My method of topping the tuna salad with cheese FIRST, then tomato and more cheese, keeps the toppings from sliding off the bread.

ULTIMATE TUNA MELTS
Steps:
- In a medium bowl, flake the tuna finely with a fork. Add the celery, scallions, and dill, and continue mixing and fluffing with the fork until combined. Add the lemon juice, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and 3/4 teaspoon pepper. Combine the mayonnaise and anchovy paste, if using, and mix into the tuna.
- Preheat the broiler. Toast the bread in a toaster and place the slices in a single layer on a sheet pan. Spread a quarter of the tuna mixture thickly and evenly on each piece of bread, covering the entire slice. Sprinkle the cheese evenly on the 4 sandwiches, covering the tuna completely. Broil for 1 to 2 minutes, just until the cheese melts and starts to brown. (Watch it carefully!) Sprinkle with the microgreens and serve hot.
Tips:
- Using a quality, oil-packed tuna is key to a flavorful melt.
- For a crispier sandwich, toast the bread before assembling.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different cheeses. Swiss is a classic, but cheddar, mozzarella, or provolone would also be delicious.
- If you don't have Worcestershire sauce, you can substitute soy sauce or fish sauce.
- Serve the melts immediately, while the cheese is still gooey.
Conclusion:
The Swiss tuna melt is a quick and easy sandwich that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover tuna. With its creamy, cheesy filling and crispy bread, the Swiss tuna melt is sure to be a hit with the whole family.
