Time 20m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 (6 ounce) can olive-oil packed tuna, untrained
¼ red bell pepper, cut into 1/4-inch pieces
2 scallions, green parts only, diced
2 teaspoons capers, drained and coarsely chopped
1 teaspoon minced fresh thyme
½ lemon, juiced
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 pinch red pepper flakes
4 slices ciabatta bread
1 teaspoon olive oil, or to taste
2 slices fresh Asiago, or more to taste

Steps:

  • Drain about 1/2 of the olive oil from the tuna. Scrape tuna and remaining oil into a mixing bowl. Add bell pepper, scallions, capers, and thyme. Add lemon juice, mayonnaise, and red pepper flakes. Stir gently to combine.
  • Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
  • Lay bread slices crust-sides up on an unlined baking sheet. Brush with olive oil. Broil until nicely browned, about 1 minute.
  • Turn bread slices over with tongs and divide the tuna filling between 2 slices. Arrange Asiago cheese over the other two slices. Return to broiler. Heat until cheese is bubbly and golden brown and filling is hot, about 2 minutes.
  • Remove from oven. Use tongs to turn the cheese-topped slices over on top of those spread with filling. Slice tuna melts in half and serve immediately.

I've tried many tuna melt recipes, but this one is by far the best. The addition of the sun-dried tomatoes and herbs really takes it to the next level.
