BEST TUNA MELT EVER



Best Tuna Melt Ever image

Jazz up your tuna melt with a raisins and celery. Sharp cheddar is essential, as is horseradish. Yogurt instead of mayo makes it tangy-er and lighter.

Provided by QueSarah

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 10m

Yield 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

6 ounces solid white tuna packed in water (one can)
2 stalks celery
2 tablespoons raisins (one small box)
1 tablespoon horseradish cream
1 tablespoon country-style dijon mustard (the kind with the whole mustard seeds)
2 tablespoons whole fat unsweetened plain yogurt
1/4 cup cheddar cheese
1 slice wheat bread

Steps:

  • Put the bread in the toaster and toast medium.
  • Meanwhile, cut the celery into small pieces and mix it in a bowl with the tuna, raisins, horseradish, mustard, and yogurt.
  • The horseradish and mustard should both be added to taste: it's up to you how much you want to add. I like a lot so I usually put in a few big spoonfuls of each.
  • Then, after the horseradish and mustard, add enough yogurt in to make it all stick together.
  • You can use mayo if you prefer, but the yogurt tastes better with the raisins.
  • Microwave everything in the bowl (maybe 1 min - just enough to warm it so the toaster oven doesn't have to do all the work).
  • Arrange the tuna mix on a piece of pre-toasted bread.
  • You can also use pita or half a green bell pepper instead of bread.
  • I make a little dome shape.
  • Place 2-3 slices of cheddar on the top of the dome of tuna.
  • Put it all back in the toaster oven (or regular oven) and cook until the cheese is melted.

Categories     main-dish

Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 (6 to 8-ounce) jars imported tuna packed in olive oil, drained
1/2 cup (1/4-inch) diced hearts of celery
1/2 cup minced scallions, white and light green parts (3 scallions)
3 tablespoons minced fresh dill
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3/4 cup good mayonnaise, such as Hellmann's
1 teaspoon anchovy paste (optional)
4 large slices bread, such as Pepperidge Farm Farmhouse Hearty White
4 ounces Swiss cheese, such as Emmentaler, grated
1 ounce microgreens

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.

TUNA MELT



Tuna Melt image

Legend has it that the tuna melt was accidentally invented in the 1960s at the Woolworth's lunch counter in Charleston, S.C., when the cook didn't notice that a bowl of tuna salad had tipped over onto a grilled cheese. We may never know if this story is true, but there's no doubt that the tuna melt has become a classic American diner food. This recipe adds chopped cornichons and whole-grain mustard for a satisfying crunch and vinegary element. Extra-sharp Cheddar is a must, and as with grilled cheese, the key to achieving perfectly melted cheese and golden bread is to toast the sandwich over medium-low heat. If you prefer an open-face tuna melt, skip the top piece of bread and place the sandwich on a sheet pan under the broiler until the cheese melts.

Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 (6-ounce) cans solid, water-packed tuna, drained
3/4 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup finely chopped cornichons or small kosher dill pickles
3 tablespoons minced red onion
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 packed tablespoon minced fresh dill (optional)
2 teaspoons whole-grain mustard
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
8 slices rye or sourdough bread, cut 1/2-inch thick
8 sandwich slices extra-sharp Cheddar (or 6 ounces shredded)
4 tablespoons softened unsalted butter, plus more as needed

Steps:

  • Place the tuna in a medium bowl and flake with a fork. Add the mayonnaise, cornichons, red onion, lemon juice, dill (if using), mustard, salt and pepper. Mix well.
  • Depending on the size of your bread, spoon 1/3 to 1/2 cup tuna salad on each of four slices of bread, heaping it in the middle slightly. Divide the cheese among the sandwiches, tearing and arranging the cheese to fit neatly. Place a piece of bread on top of each and generously spread the top piece of each sandwich with about 1/2 tablespoon butter.
  • Heat a 10-inch skillet over medium-low. Place two sandwiches, buttered-side down, in the skillet, and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, until the bottom pieces of bread are golden brown.
  • Meanwhile, spread the top of the each sandwich with another 1/2 tablespoon butter. Carefully flip the sandwiches, turn the heat to low, and cook for 3 to 4 more minutes, until the bottoms are browned and the cheese is melted. Repeat with the remaining two sandwiches and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality ingredients. Use fresh, flavorful tuna, and a creamy, tangy mayonnaise. You can also add other ingredients to your tuna salad, such as chopped celery, onion, or pickles.
  • Don't overcook the tuna. Tuna should be cooked quickly over high heat so that it remains moist and flaky. Otherwise, it will become dry and tough.
  • Use a good quality bread. A sturdy bread that can hold up to the tuna salad is best. You can use white bread, wheat bread, or even a croissant.
  • Melt the cheese until it is gooey and bubbly. This will help to hold the sandwich together and make it extra delicious.
  • Serve the tuna melts immediately. They are best when they are hot and fresh.

Conclusion:

Tuna melts are a classic comfort food that is easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for a quick lunch or dinner, and they can also be served as an appetizer or snack. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a delicious tuna melt that will satisfy your cravings.
