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.
