Tips:
- Use high-quality tuna: Opt for solid white tuna packed in water or olive oil for the best flavor and texture.
- Choose a flavorful cheese: A good melting cheese like cheddar, Gruyère, or mozzarella will create a gooey, delicious filling.
- Add some moisture: If the tuna salad is too dry, add a little mayonnaise, sour cream, or Greek yogurt to make it more spreadable.
- Season to taste: Don't forget to add salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings to the tuna salad.
- Toast the bread: Toasted bread will help the sandwich hold together better and give it a nice crunch.
- Broil the sandwich: Broiling the sandwich will melt the cheese and brown the bread perfectly.
